A series of country names are stored in an array. You have been asked to count the country that starts with letter ‘a’ in java.

Answer:
I'm interested in how to count the number of names in a queue that begin with the same first character.
My program will be asking the user to input several names, and the names will be stored in a queue. However, I am required to count the number of names in the queue that begins with the same first character. How do I do that? I'm new to java so I don't know much.
It should print the following statistics:
- The total number of country names in the queue that begins with the same letter.
- To compute the above statistics you may use other data structures, such as Array, or ArrayList/Vector.
Example:
User inputs/what is in the queue:
Brazil
Italy
Singapore
Spain
Switzerland
Iceland
Output:
Total number of countries start with I : 2
Total number of countries start with S : 3
I've tried searching around on this but I haven't really found a solid method to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: I am not allowed to use any of Java's mechanisms and have to implement it myself
here's my program so far.
