Taking two different user inputs

Question

https://code.sololearn.com/cAVmwbUaKJ4C/?ref=app
I am trying to get two different user inputs for two different variables but it seems to only work if I leave only one input in the code.
As a beginner, I also would like some feedback on code in general, what could be done better ?

Answer 1

Works fine

I entered
Abhay
b

Output was b occured 1 time

Answer 2

A thing i like to do to cut down on code is to put the message in the input like so:

choice = input('What'\s it gunna be? > ')

Now when your program gets to 'choice = ...' the message inside input will be shown as the prompt. just type value and hit enter it will be mapped to the variable you assigned. In my case, the input was assigned to 'choice'.
Its fine the way it is, but i figure you could save time in the future this way.
