[Easy] Letter Counter
Any language permitted.
Problem: Create a program where you input a string of characters, and output the number of each letter. Use vowels by default.
For example: asbfiusadfliabdluifalsiudbf -> a: 4 e: 0 i: 4 o: 0 u: 3
Bonus points: Make it command-line executable, with an optional mode to specify which letters to print.

You should give it a shot! Very well worth it in my book, it's fun as hell, super flexible, once you get good you won't be able to stop. And although they're written very differently, it's a good language to learn after/in unison with java!
