Apollo-Roboto , normally the asker of a question should post his attempt here, before he will get help. this is because we belive that just giving a ready made code does NOT really help you. cheers also to Isaac Fernandes besides of this, the code can be done with less complexity, just using string.count() # no need to split the input string to individual chars # no need for a nested loop def letter_frequency(txt, char): print(txt.count(char)) letter_frequency("My name is Lothar", "a")

letter count and letter frequency are two different things (even if related) ^^ letter count is the absolute number of occurence, while frequency is that number divided by the total number of letters (length)... assuming you don't differentiate letters from other chars in a string (digits, punctuation, spaces...): + count of a specific char as previously said is simply given by string.count(char)... + frequency is given by string.count(char)/len(string)

Pretty simple logic, but please attach your code here next time, so we can guide you through writing the code yourself. If you tried and got stuck, here's the code: def letterFrequency(str, char): arr = str.split(" "); count = 0; for word in arr: for letter in word: if letter == char: count +=1 print(count) letterFrequency("My name is Gavin","a") Output: 2 Cheers✌
