How to find letter frequency in python data structures

Question

You are making a program to analyze text.
Take the text as the first input and a letter as the second input, and output the frequency of that letter in the text as a whole percentage.

Sample Input:
hello
l

Sample Output:
40

The letter l appears 2 times in the text hello, which has 5 letters. So, the frequency would be (2/5)*100 = 40.

Please help, thanks.

Na Ree ,

before we can help you, please show us your attempt. please put your code in playground and link it here. if you have not done a try by yourself so far, please do so.
thanks for your understanding & happy coding!

Answer 2

Maintain a counter variable.

Loop over the string , see if the inputted character matches the character in string and if it do , increase the counter .

Then do (counter/len(string)*100)

Answer 3

Hint:-

Use count() to get the count of the given character. Almost done!!
And about the rest, you just have to compute after getting the count.

Syntax of count() :-

string.count(char)

Ex:- String = hello
cnt = String.count('l')
print(cnt) => results in 2

Hope this helps and you can do it now!!

n=len(text)
per=((text.count(letter)/n)*100)
print(int(per))

Answer 6

text= input()
