Answer 1

Your condition "char == y" is always true (because you set char = y in line 11).

x = input()
y = input()
def read(text,char):
cntr=0
for i in text:
if i == char:
cntr += 1
return "There are ", cntr, char,"in this text"

print(read(x,y))

Answer 2

Question: Do you want to find a special character in the sentence or is it a word you want to find?

Answer 3

Choe, really nice code! i was not aware that i can split() string direct in for loop. i allways did it direct at input(). Also a good idea to form a string and directly return it from func! Good stuff!!

Answer 4

if you want to find words in a sentence

x=str(input())
y=str(input())
def read(text,word):
cntr=0
for i in text.split(" "):
if i == word:
cntr+=1
return "there are ", cntr, word,"in this text"
print(read(x,y))
