Letter Count

Question

I need to input a word and then tell how many times each letter appear. For example, "hello", If I use ".count(Each digit in the string)," it would tell me how many times each digit in the string appear, not how many times the letter appears. Then I would need to store each letter-count in a dictionary, but I would try to figure that out later, if not, I will ask. But I just need to understand the 1st part first.

Thank you for your help :)

Answer 1

You can use count() function to count number of a character appearing in a input text.

EX:
print("Hi".count('H'))
>>>1

And you can use loops to store a character as a key and count of that as a value in dict.

text = input()
print({i:text.count(i) for i in text })

Answer 2

string = input() or "mississippi"
counts = {char: string.count(char) for char in set(string)}
print(counts)

print(dictionary)

does this help you ?

Answer 6

There are two ways you can solve this problem
The first is
text = input()
dict= { }
#loop through the text
for I in text:
'''then create a conditional statement that if "I" is not found on the dict add one to the dict'''

if I not in dict:
dict[i]=1
else:
dict[i]+=1
print(dict)

or

text = input()
dict= { }
#loop through the text
for I in text:
for I in text:
dict[i]=dict.get(i, 0)+1
print(dict)
