It's my task:

https://www.sololearn.com/coach/1060?ref=app

It's my code:

text = input()
text = list(text)
my_dict = {}
x = 1
for i in range(len(text)):
if text[i] not in my_dict:
my_dict[text[i]] = x
elif text[i] in my_dict:
my_dict[text[i]] = x+1
print(my_dict)

What's my error?

Answer 1

text = input()
text = list(text)
my_dict = {}
x = 1
for i in range(len(text)):
if text[i] not in my_dict:
my_dict[text[i]] = x
elif text[i] in my_dict:
my_dict[text[i]] = x+1
print(my_dict)

Answer 2

i’m guessing your error is that you are letter count maxes out at 2.

in your elif statement you have dict = x+1. in this case x is always equal to 1, so x+ 1 will equal 2. in any other case, you would need a x += 1 or x = x+1 for the value of x to increase.

for your answer though, i think all you need to do is replace x+1 with my_dict[text[i]] + 1 so it will add 1 to the existing count value.
