Here is the code that will work: sentence = "This is a test...Just a test" def find(phrase): word = 'es' count = 0 word_len = len(word) #loop till end of the sentence for i in range(len(sentence)): #loop for every two words(word_len) in sentence and check for same word if sentence[i:i+word_len] == word: count += 1 return count print(find(sentence) )

Count variable is a local variable of the function/method. It cannot be accessed outside the find method. Moreover you are using unnecessary return statements in if else blocks

Prince so how can I fix it? And there are no return statement in else block...but a local variable can be accessed with a return statement, no?
