I am trying to write a program in python for the occurrences of a character given the start and stop values of that string only using while

Question

for eg:

string= PPYYTTHON

start and stop values are index 2 and 8

the for a character inputted by the user : Y

it should print 1

Answer 1

Here's the code:

check = input("Enter the character: ")
start = int(input("Start index: "))
stop = int(input("Stop index: "))
sentence = 'PPYYTTHON'
count = 0

for i in sentence[start+1: stop]:
    if i == check:
        count+=1

print (count)
