Write a program that takes a string from the user, identifies and counts all unique characters in that given string. You are bound to use only built-in string functions where necessary. For identification of unique characters and for counting of the characters make separate functions.

For character identification

Develop a program that takes a string argument, and returns an array containing all unique characters.

For character counting

Develop a program that takes an array returned from above function as an argument along with the given string and return an array containing the total count of each uniquely identified character present in the argument array.
