Main.java

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int count = getSymbolCount("Hello!#@#!!!!!!!");
        System.out.println("Count is "+count);
    }

    public static int getSymbolCount(String word){
        final String SYMBOLS = "~!@#$%";  //This is not the full list of characters that need to be checked!
        int result = 0;

        for(int i = 0; i< SYMBOLS.length();i++) {
            char ch = SYMBOLS.charAt(i);
            System.out.printf("Symbol %d is %c\n", i, ch);
            if(word.indexOf(ch) > -1)
                result++;
        }
        return result;
    }
