You can count the first letter of each word in D3.js by splitting the text into words and then iterating over each word to extract the first letter of each word and counting its occurrences. Here's a code snippet that demonstrates how to do this:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
// Sample text
var text = "This is a sample text to count first letter of each word";

// Split the text into words
var words = text.split(" ");

// Object to store the count of first letters
var letterCount = {};

// Iterate over each word and count the first letter
words.forEach(function(word) {
  var firstLetter = word.charAt(0).toUpperCase();
  if (letterCount.hasOwnProperty(firstLetter)) {
    letterCount[firstLetter]++;
  } else {
    letterCount[firstLetter] = 1;
  }
});

// Print the result
console.log(letterCount);


This code snippet will output an object where the keys represent the first letter of each word and the values represent the count of occurrences of that letter in the text.
