Question

2. Write the method named countChar()
*
* You are given a String str, and a char ch.
* Return the number of times that ch appears
* inside str, but ignore case.
*
* Oh, and you can't use the classification methods
* in the Character class. Use plain if statements,
* remembering that you can check if ch is lowercase
* by checking if it is between lowercase 'a' and
* lowercase 'z', inclusive. Likewise, check if
* between 'A' and 'Z' for capital. To convert lowercase to
* uppercase, subtract the difference between lowercase 'a'
* and uppercase 'A' ('a'-'A') from the lowercase character.
* Add this difference to convert from uppercase to lowercase.
*
* Examples:
* countChar("Abcdefg", 'a') returns 1
* countChar("xxXx", 'x') returns 4
* countChar("", 'q') returns 0
*
* @param str the String to search through
* @param ch the char to count (not case sensitive)
* @return the count of ch in str
*/
