我知道要求是数一个特定的字母。我在这里没有使用任何方法编写泛型代码。

sentence1 =" Mary had a little lamb"
count = {}
for i in sentence1:
    if i in count:
        count[i.lower()] = count[i.lower()] + 1
    else:
        count[i.lower()] = 1
print(count)

输出

{' ': 5, 'm': 2, 'a': 4, 'r': 1, 'y': 1, 'h': 1, 'd': 1, 'l': 3, 'i': 1, 't': 2, 'e': 1, 'b': 1}

现在如果你想要任何特定的字母频率，你可以像下面这样打印。

print(count['m'])
2

“不使用计数查找字符串中需要的字符”方法。

import re

def count(s, ch):

   pass

def main():

   s = raw_input ("Enter strings what you like, for example, 'welcome': ")  

   ch = raw_input ("Enter you want count characters, but best result to find one character: " )

   print ( len (re.findall ( ch, s ) ) )

main()

使用数:

sentence = 'A man walked up to a door'
print(sentence.count('a'))
# 4

正则表达式非常有用，如果你想要区分大小写(当然还有regex的所有功能)。

my_string = "Mary had a little lamb"
# simplest solution, using count, is case-sensitive
my_string.count("m")   # yields 1
import re
# case-sensitive with regex
len(re.findall("m", my_string))
# three ways to get case insensitivity - all yield 2
len(re.findall("(?i)m", my_string))
len(re.findall("m|M", my_string))
len(re.findall(re.compile("m",re.IGNORECASE), my_string))

请注意，regex版本的运行时间大约是它的十倍，只有当my_string非常长或代码处于深度循环中时，这才可能成为问题。

Python 3

有两种方法可以做到这一点:

1)内置函数count()

sentence = 'Mary had a little lamb'
print(sentence.count('a'))`

2)不使用函数

sentence = 'Mary had a little lamb'    
count = 0

for i in sentence:
    if i == "a":
        count = count + 1

print(count)

spam = 'have a nice day'
var = 'd'


def count(spam, var):
    found = 0
    for key in spam:
        if key == var:
            found += 1
    return found
count(spam, var)
print 'count %s is: %s ' %(var, count(spam, var))
