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.

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
