Can somebody explain to me this:

Question

def count_char(text, char):
count = 0
for c in text:
if c == char:
count += 1
return count

Answer 1

Line by line:

# Create function
def count_char(text, char):
# Set count to 0
count = 0
# Loop through the individual characters
# in text
for c in text:
# If that character is the same as
# char (what you're looking for)...
if c == char:
# Add one to count
count += 1
# Tell us what count is
return count

All in all:
It's supposed to see how many of a given letter are in a given string.
