What am I doing wrong?

Question

Letter frequency project in python.

x = [a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z]

for l in x:
print(len(l*100))

Answer 2

What is your aim here? Have you tried to use count function?

Answer 3

the count() solution is acceptable for tiny inputs or only one characte frequency needed, but if you need to deal with big inputs (either a lot of inputs, or big inputed strings) and/or with all characters frequencies needed, you rather would iterate (only once by string) over the input string and count 'manually' occurence by filling/updating a dict whose keys are encountered characters, and values is the count of that character

only one character (or any string length) frequency in string or list:

print(string_or_list.count(char))

all characters frequency:

freq = {}
for char in string_or_list:
if char in freq: freq[char] += 1
else: freq[char] = 1
print(freq)

Answer 4

Anyways... still we don't know precisely what's his aim

Answer 5

If you were to read my description it would clearly tell you what my aim is. Considering you use this, but here is my aim, "You are making a program to analyze text.
Take the text as the first input and a letter as the second input, and output the frequency of that letter in the text as a whole percentage.

Sample Input:
hello
l

Sample Output:
40

The letter l appears 2 times in the text hello, which has 5 letters. So, the frequency would be (2/5)*100 = 40."

Answer 6

so use my first solution ^^

Answer 7

Thanks

Answer 8

You can try to use this, if you only need the frequency of lowercase letters:

import string
s = "hello"
x = string.ascii_lowercase

for l in x:
if l in s:
print(f'{l}: {int((s.count(l)/len(s))*100)}%')

#your code goes here

string = input("")
string1 = input("")

number = 0

i = string1

for i in string:
if i == string1:
number += 1

#print(number)

len = len(string)

calc = number/len*100
print(int(calc))

#This code worked perfectly for me, Hope this helps You

Answer 10

text = input("")
letter = input("")

textList = [x for x in text if x != ' ']

letterCount = text.count(letter)
result = int(letterCount/len(text)*100)
print(result)
