Write code to Count the occurrences of the substring in string s.

Demo

//package com.book2s;

    }/*from www. j  a va2  s  . c  o m*/

    /**
     * Count the occurrences of the substring in string s.
     * @param str string to search in. Return 0 if this is null.
     * @param sub string to search for. Return 0 if this is null.

    public static int countOccurrencesOf(String str, String sub) {
        if (str == null || sub == null || str.length() == 0

            return 0;
        }
        int count = 0;
        int pos = 0;
        int idx;

            pos = idx + sub.length();
        }
        return count;
