You're grossly overestimating the problem, or greatly underestimating the
CS students in US colleges.

Frequency counting is an introductory programming problem that shows how
useful loops and containers are.  It's something that's easily done with
paper and pencil, and is even easier with the use of computers.


What part are you having trouble with?  If we know more about your own
programming experience, we may be able to prod you in some direction.
But we will not give direct help on this one; this is definitely in the
domain of a "homework" assignment.


Good luck to you.
