Word equation!

Hello everyone! I am trying to make a code that can figure out how many times a user input word is written in a unser input text. What is the easiest way to do this? I am trying to learn python and have found a way it might work. If you have some websites or anything that might help please like them :)

Try this. Its just a prototype. Ask questions if unsure. https://code.sololearn.com/c6FsGQPvqy4l/?ref=app

How many times a user input word is written in a [what] ? Could you be a bit more clear, or maybe provide an example?

The easiest might be to open the file, .read() it, .split() and .strip() it and .count(word) it ;)

if i were to count the percentage of the words in the text, how do you think this can be made? For example, Quick stand for 4 % of the text and so on :)
