Question

Write a program in python that asks the user to input a sentence.

The program will ask the user what two letters are to be counted.

You must use a “for” loop to go through the sentence & count how many times the chosen letter appears in the sentence.

You are not allowed to use python built-in function "count()" or you'll get a Zero!

Output will show the sentence, the letter, and the number of times the letter appears in the sentence.

Sample Run:

Please enter a sentence: HELLO WORLD

Please enter letter 1: E

Please enter letter 2: L

The letter E occurs 1 time

The letter L occurs 3 time(s)

Answer 1

This does not use the built in function count(), so you need not worry.

I have explained exerything within the codein the comments part.

Here is the input to the code:

= def count letter(): #defining function count letter sentence = input("Please enter a sentence:") # input the sentence letterl input("Please enter letter 1: ") # input the first letter letter2 input("Please enter letter 2: ") # input the second letter counti 0 #countl set to O count2 O # count2 set to O for c in sentence: #for loop for first letter to count number of times letter occurs if == letterl: countl += 1 = C it occurs if countl == 1 or countl == O: # if condition to differentiate between one or more times print("The letter", letteri, "occurs", counti ,"time") else: print("The letter", letteri, Moccurs", counti ,"time (s)") for C in sentence: #for loop for second letter to count number of times letter occurs if c == letter2: count2 += 1 if count2 == or count2 == O: # if condition to differentiate between one or more times it| Occurs print ("The letter", letter2, occurs", count2 ,"time") else: print ("The letter", letter2, "occurs", count2 "time (s)") print(count_letter()) # executing the function
