最简单的方法是一行代码:

'Mary had a little lamb'.count("a")

但是如果你想用这个也可以:

sentence ='Mary had a little lamb'
   count=0;
    for letter in sentence :
        if letter=="a":
            count+=1
    print (count)

我不知道“最简单的”，但简单的理解可以做到:

>>> my_string = "Mary had a little lamb"
>>> sum(char == 'a' for char in my_string)
4

利用内置的和，生成器理解和bool是整数的子类的事实:如何乘字符等于'a'。

要获得所有字母的计数，请使用集合。计数器:

>>> from collections import Counter
>>> counter = Counter("Mary had a little lamb")
>>> counter['a']
4

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Counter()， count和regex获得所有字符计数的另一种方法

counts_dict = {}
for c in list(sentence):
  if c not in counts_dict:
    counts_dict[c] = 0
  counts_dict[c] += 1

for key, value in counts_dict.items():
    print(key, value)

这个简单直接的函数可能会有帮助:

def check_freq(x):
    freq = {}
    for c in set(x):
       freq[c] = x.count(c)
    return freq

check_freq("abbabcbdbabdbdbabababcbcbab")
{'a': 7, 'b': 14, 'c': 3, 'd': 3}

如果需要理解:

def check_freq(x):
    return {c: x.count(c) for c in set(x)}
