> Use this class to read a sentence and get all the characters from it in a collection. So you know exactly how many times a character is being used in a sentence.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require jeroendesloovere/character-collection

```

Example

```

Which is a collection of all the characters that are used in your sentence + the positions that they are on. Example off how to get the positions of t

```
$collection->get('t')->getPositions();
```

> Will return `[0, 14]`.
