Answer 1

# Program to find the most frequent character in a string

# Get the string from the user

string = input("Enter a string: ")

# Create an empty dictionary

char_count = {}

# Iterate through the string and count the frequency of each character

for char in string:

if char in char_count:

char_count[char] += 1

else:

char_count[char] = 1

# Find the character with the highest frequency

max_char = ""

max_count = 0

for char in char_count:

if char_count[char] > max_count:

max_char = char

max_count = char_count[char]

# Print the result

print("The most frequent character is '" + max_char + "' with a frequency of " + str(max_count) + ".")
