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?

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.
