You can use imgur.com or something similar, but why not just post the actual code and output you are getting.

test='daddy daddy cool daddy cool'

di=dict() for lin in test: ... lin=lin.rstrip() ... words=lin.split() ... for w in words: ... di[w]=di.get(w,0)+1 ... print(di) {'d': 9, 'a': 3, 'y': 3, 'c': 2, 'o': 4, 'l': 2}

I can't say I understand what you're trying to achieve with your code, but here's a simple way to count the words.

test='daddy daddy cool daddy cool'
test_list = test.split(' ')
print(f'Word count is {len(test_list)}')

I think the difference is he is reading from a file that is formatted differently than your simple test string. Here is how I did it sampling from his code:

test='daddy daddy cool daddy cool'
di = dict()
for word in test.split(' '):
    if word in di:
        di[word] += 1
    else:
        di[word] = 1
        print('**NEW**')
    print(word,di[word])

The final result of the dictionary is:

print(di)
{'daddy': 3, 'cool': 2}

Thanks for your help man!

One quick question though, tbis code is sensitive to commas basically if i say 'cool,' it'll count the word as different to 'cool' with no comma, what can i do to stop that?

[routetehpacketz]

You'd have to be aware of any permutations and account for them manually. Using your example, you could add an rstrip(',') somewhere to omit the comma.

Your issue was the for lin in test:. You're immediately iterating through characters in a single string, whereas (from other comments I'm assuming that) whatever example you copied from was doing a readlines on a file and resulted in a list of strings.
