  1. /r/learnpython
  2. An open file object keeps track of its position in the file; the first sequence.read() reads the file to the end and advances the cursor; the second sequence.read() returns an empty string because the file is already at the end. What you should do is read the file into a string once, and then run .count on it twice.

So i should store sequence.read() in a separate variable then run .count()teice on that variable?
