Python Program to Count the Number of Occurrence of a Character in String

Example 1: Using a for loop

 count = 0 my_string = "Programiz" my_char = "r" for i in my_string: if i == my_char: count += 1 print(count)

Output

 2

In the above example, we have found the count of 'r' in 'Programiz'. The for-loop loops over each character of my_string and the if condition checks if each character of my_string is 'r'. The value of count increases if there is a match.

Example 2: Using method count()

 my_string = "Programiz" my_char = "r" print(my_string.count(my_char))

Output

 2

count() counts the frequency of the character passed as parameter.
