#Exercise 3: Encapsulate this code in a function named count, and generalize it so that it accepts the string and the letter as arguments

def count(word, letter):
    count = 0

    for character in word:
        if character == letter:
            count = count + 1
    print (count)

inp_word = input('Enter word: ')
inp_lett = input('Enter letter: ')
count(inp_word, inp_lett)
