The mean ground state occupation number and condensate fluctuations of interacting and non-interacting Bose gases confined in a harmonic trap are considered by using a canonical ensemble approach. To obtain the mean ground state occupation number and the condensate fluctuations, an analytical description for the probability distribution function of the condensate is provided directly starting from the analysis of the partition function of the system. For the ideal Bose gas, the probability distribution function is found to be a Gaussian one for the case of the harmonic trap. For the interacting Bose gas, using a unified approach the condensate fluctuations are calculated based on the lowest-order perturbation method and on Bogoliubov theory. It is found that the condensate fluctuations based on the lowest-order perturbation theory follow the law $\sim N$, while the fluctuations based on Bogoliubov theory behave as $N^{4/3}$.
