Write a program that asks the user to enter the name of a file, and then asks the user to enter a character. The program should count and display the number of times that the specified character appears in the file. Class name: FileLetterCounter Hints: Hint 1. To read a single character from the keyboard, you need to read a full line and then take the first character in position 0. Hint 2. To count the occurrences of a given characters in a file you need to read the file line-by-line using a while loop, then for each line check all characters in all positions and increment the character counter for each occurrence. This will require to have a for-loop nested inside the while-loop.
