Please give more explaination. If you mean that you want how many times a letter is repeated in a word then go with count() ( exp: word ="hello" print(word.count('l')) >>> 2 If I misunderstood your question please explain with more details.

You can prepare a <sum> variable, initialized to zero. Then run a for-loop on each character in the string, checking whether the character is an alphabet by using `isalpha()` method. When `isalpha()` returns `True`, increment <sum>. You can also use comprehension to generate a `list` or a `tuple` containing alphabets only. Then use `len()` to get the `list` or `tuple` size. You can also use `filter()` to generate a `list` or a `tuple` containing alphabets only. Then use `len()` to get the `list` or `tuple` size. It all depends on how far you had gone through the tutorial. Either way, all those are available in the tutorial.

You can use -> .lenght Of a string, so you can know it's lenght (the letters). Hope I helped you :)

Adilet You can count like this. First check if character exist in dictionary then increment count otherwise store 1 https://code.sololearn.com/cebXGf11Gq58/?ref=app
