alphacount

Instructions

Write a function that counts only the letters of a string and that returns that count. White spaces or any other characters should not be counted.

The letters are only the ones from the latin alphabet.

Expected function

func AlphaCount(str string) int {

}

Usage

Here is a possible program to test your function :

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	piscine ".."
)

func main() {
	str := "Hello 78 World!    4455 /"
	nb := piscine.AlphaCount(str)
	fmt.Println(nb)
}

And its output :

student@ubuntu:~/piscine-go/test$ ./test
