How to Allow or Use or Display Angle Brackets <> in HTML Code Tag

The issue arises because HTML treats angle brackets (< and >) as part of its markup syntax, so they need to be escaped to display properly within a <code> or <pre> tag.

Solution

Replace < with &lt; and > with &gt; Here's your code with the corrections:

Angle brackets Program <>

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Console.Write("Enter a string: ");
        string input = Console.ReadLine();

        Dictionary&lt;char, int&gt; charCount = CountCharacters(input);

        Console.WriteLine("Character occurrences:");
        foreach (var pair in charCount)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"'{pair.Key}': {pair.Value}");
        }
    }

    static Dictionary&lt;char, int&gt; CountCharacters(string str)
    {
        var result = new Dictionary&lt;char, int&gt;();

        foreach (char c in str)
        {
            if (result.ContainsKey(c))
                result[c]++;
            else
                result[c] = 1;
        }

        return result;
    }
}

Explanation

  • &lt;: Escapes the < symbol.
  • &gt;: Escapes the > symbol.

Rendered Output

The angle brackets will now display correctly on your HTML page.
