# We need to count the occurance of words in a text | |
def count_word_in_text(text, word_to_count_by): | |
# We first have the text and then we run a "count" method on the text | |
# then we parse the word_to_count_by | |
return text.count(word_to_count_by) | |
# Now we add a string of text we want to count the occurances of a certain word in | |
# Secound paramater is the word we want to count | |
count_of_words = count_word_in_text("Hello world, its a great day in this world", "world") | |
# Prints 2 because the word world is present in the example twice | |
print(count_of_words); # 2 |
