Letter Count on a string
- by user74283
Python newb here. I m trying to count the number of letter "a"s in a given string. Code is below. It keeps returning 1 instead 3 in string "banana". Any input appreciated.
def count_letters(word, char):
count = 0
while count <= len(word):
for char in word:
if char == word[count]:
count += 1
return count
print count_letters('banana','a')
