How to count letters in string in python

Question

Given a string as input, you need to output how many times each letter appears in the string.
You decide to store the data in a dictionary, with the letters as the keys, and the corresponding counts as the values.
Create a program to take a string as input and output a dictionary, which represents the letter count.

Sample Input:
hello

Sample Output:
{'h': 1, 'e': 1, 'l': 2, 'o': 1}

text = input()
dict = {}

Loop over the characters in the string.
Check if the current character exists as a key in the letters dictionary (don't call it dict!, this is a bad habit that will cause issues in your future code). If it doesn't exist add it to the dictionary with a value of 1, otherwise, increment the value of the current character by 1. Output the dictionary.
