So please dont give me the answer more or less guide me in the right direction.

Return the number of times that the string "hi" appears anywhere in the given string.

countHi("abc hi ho") 1
countHi("ABChi hi") 2
countHi("hihi") 2

This is what I have so far



public int countHi(String str)
{
  for (int i=0; i < str.length()-1; i++)
}




All I need is a push in the right direction.

Thanks

You will search through the string until you find 'h', if you find one, check the next character for 'i'.

If it matches, increase your count of "hi"s appearing.
If it doesn't match, continue your search of the string.

Be aware for things that may catch your program out such as "hhi", "Hi", etc.#

If you need any further tips, reply or send me a PM.
