Java Program to count all punctuation characters in the string

Java Program to count the total number of punctuation characters exists in a String

In this example, we will see a Java program through which we can count the total number of punctuation characters that exists in a given input string.

• STEP 1: START.
• STEP 2: SET lines= 10.</li>
• STEP 3: SET space= (lines*2)-2.
• STEP 4: SET i=1, REPEAT STEP 5 to STEP 18 UNTIL i <= (lines/2).
• STEP 5: SET flagl=0.
• STEP 6: SET l=1. REPEAT STEP 7 and 8 UNTIL l <= i.
• STEP 7: IF flagl is not true PRINT '*' and INCREMENT flagl by 1
  ELSE PRINT "" WITH "*"
• STEP 8: SET l=l+1.
• STEP 9: SET l=1.
• STEP 10: REPEAT STEP 11 UNTIL l <= space.
• STEP 11: PRINT "" and SET l=l+1.
• STEP 12: DECREMENT space by 4.
• STEP 13: SET flagr=0.
• STEP 14: SET l=1. REPEAT STEP 15 to STEP 16 UNTIL l <= i.
• STEP 15: IF flag is not true PRINT * and increment flag by 1.
  ELSE PRINT BLANK SPACE " " WITH * .
• STEP 16: SET l=l+1.
• STEP 17: PRINT new line.
• STEP 18: SET i=i+1.
• STEP 19: INCREMENT space by 4
• STEP 20: SET i=lines/2.
• STEP 21: REPEAT STEP 22 to STEP 35 UNTIL i >=1.
• STEP 22: SET flagl=0.
• STEP 23: SET l=1. REPEAT STEP 24 and 25 UNTIL l <= i.
• STEP 24: IF flag is not true PRINT * and INCREMENT flag by 1 ELSE PRINT "" + *
• STEP 25: SET l=l+1.
• STEP 26: SET l=1. REPEAT STEP 27 and 28 UNTIL l <= space.
• STEP 27: PRINT "".
• STEP 28: SET l = l + 1.
• STEP 29: INCREMENT space by 4.
• STEP 30: SET flagr =0.
• STEP 31: SET l=1. REPEAT STEP 32 to STEP 33 UNTIL l<=i.
• STEP 32: IF flagr is not true then PRINT * and INCREMENT flagr by 1 else
  PRINT "" with *.
• STEP 33: SET l=l+1.
• STEP 34: PRINT new line.
• STEP 35: SET i= i-1.
• STEP 36: END.
