How to create a program that counts how many times each letter appears in a text? [duplicate]

Question

Given a string as input, I need to output how many times each letter appears in the string. I decided to store the data in a dictionary, with the letters as the keys, and the corresponding counts as the values. How to Create a program that takes a string as input and output a dictionary, which represents the letter count that should be lowercase.

Sample Input

hello

Sample Output

{'h': 1, 'e': 1, 'l': 2, 'o': 1}

Answer 1

How about something like:

text = "This is the text to analyse"
dict = {}
for char in text:
    if char in dict:
        dict[char] += 1
    else:
        dict[char] = 1
print(dict)
