Pls help! Stuck on an exercise

Question

Hi, I'm stuck on an letter counter developing exercis of Intermediate Python course.

This is what is requested:

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}

Answer 1

#Try this
text = input()
dict = {}
#your code goes here
for i in text:
if i not in dict:
dict[i]=1

else:
dict[i]+=1
print(dict)

Answer 2

Here is an hint
You need to store the output in a dictionary
2. You need to iterate through a string
3. You need to check if the String iterated through is an alphabet.
4. You will need a counter variable that will count how many letters are there

Answer 3

You are very close to a solution. It remains only to add a counter of letters to:
{i: ... for i in word}.

And yet, list() is not needed here.

Answer 4

Aqsam Husnain Worked perfectly. Thx a lot, I didn't think it could be written in such a simple way

Answer 5

Any attempt

Answer 6

I'm blocked on creating this list, don't know how to count the letters and putting the values in the dictionary

word=list(input())
output={i for i in word}
print(output)

Answer 7

Ok I'm gonna try tomorrow and let you know, thx a lot
