Answer 2

Assuming text="abcdef....wxyz" and that count_char is a function that counts the amount of "char" in "text", then your code is computing the usage percentage of "char" in "text" and returning a formatted string for every char and the rounded percentage up to 2 decimal points.

Example:
Input: 'abca'
Output:
'a - 50%'
'b - 25%'
'c - 25%'
'a - 50%'
