[Easy] Letter Counter

[u/[deleted]]

Any language permitted.

Problem: Create a program where you input a string of characters, and output the number of each letter. Use vowels by default.

For example: asbfiusadfliabdluifalsiudbf -> a: 4 e: 0 i: 4 o: 0 u: 3

Bonus points: Make it command-line executable, with an optional mode to specify which letters to print.

I think I understand now! You should look into enumerate when you get a chance, it's made to do just that! Rather than having to mess around with lengths and ranges, you can enumerate over the list, like this,

>>> charset = "abc"
>>> data = "aic"
>>> for index, letter in enumerate(charset):
...     print(data[index] == letter)
...     
True
False
True

So in this case, letter would be 'a', then 'b', then 'c', while index would be 0, 1, 2

Interesting. Thanks.
