I would put the counters in a switch and let the lower cases
fall through to the upper cases.

He is not asking how to do it. He asking for
someone else to do it for him, so he can get
a good grade on his homework.

/* Prints the number of times 'a', 'b', 'c', 'A', 'B', and 'C'

int main(void) {
printf("1\n");
return 0;

The good news is that most people here are able to write this program.
The bad news is that none of them are willing to do your homework.

Write the program, post it, and perhaps some one may help you correcting it.

Sure, glad to. I'll start as soon as I receive your certified
check for $200 (US) (1 hours work minimum consulting charge). For
no additional fee I will also be glad to forward the result
directly to your instructor.

You get 200$/h? Wow, so that's how a greedy SOB works...

What, would you do it for only $199.99 per hour then? =)

Given that he gives his email address as (e-mail address removed), I bet
it would be pretty easy to do that right now.

(No, I'm not suggesting anyone do that; I'm warning "paul" that he's not very
stealthy and shouldn't try to be.)

I am not going to post the answer for you, but this sure is a good
exercise for a beginner like me! Time to get out the pen and paper!
Thanks for getting me interested in this problem!

If we adopt the conventions that we only ever bid *up* for homework
questions and that subsequent bids always supersede existing bids until a
bid is finally accepted by the OP, perhaps we can distribute a few more
cluons into the newbie community.

My bid is $250.

Never confuse normal rates with homework rates.

OK, I bid $300.

Cool.
So the financial damage of this piece of code is $50 per line.
OTOH I have some doubts whether the OP can compile, run, format,
present and explain it.

#include <limits.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int main(){int c;int n[1<<CHAR_BIT]={0};while(EOF!=(c=getchar()))
n[tolower(c)]++;printf("a=%d b=%d c=%d\n",n['a'],n['b'],n['c']);
return 0;}
