counting times each character repeats ...

[mp121209]

Hello everybody!
I have to count how many times each character repeats in a entered string. For example:
abcabcdekj29187a*
a ->3
b ->2
c ->2
d ->1
e ->1
etc. How can I do, please help me!

create a variable for each character (array). iterate through string. for each character in it increment appropriate variable.

Thanks, I've done!
This my code :)

#include <iostream>
#include <map>

std::map<char, int> mymap;
std::map<char, int>::iterator it;

int main () {
    char *str = new char [1000];
    for (int i = 32; i <= 126; i ++)
        mymap[i] = 0;
    std::cin.sync();
    std::cin.getline(str,1000);
    for(int i = 0; i < strlen(str); i ++) 
        mymap[str[i]] += 1;
    for (it = mymap.begin(); it != mymap.end(); it ++)
        if (it->second != 0) printf ("%c %d\n",it->first, it->second);
    return 0;
}
