letter frequency, python data structures

Question

You are making a program to analyze text.
Take the text as the first input and a letter as the second input, and output the frequency of that letter in the text as a whole percentage.

my input: text = input('')
letter = input('')
frequency = int((len(letter)/len(text))*100)thi
print(frequency)

Please tell me what is wrong.

Answer 1

Nandita Balaji ,

it is much more simple than you can imagine.

you can use a string function <count()> like:

frequency = text.count(letter)

<text> is your string input, and <letter> is your letter input

Answer 2

len() returns the length of that particular string.. However, here you need the count of that character in the given text..

It goes smthg like this..

text = input()
letter = input()
frequency = int((text.count(letter)/len(text))*100)
print(frequency)

Answer 3

len(letter) is always 1.
You have to count letters inside "text"
