最简单的方法是一行代码:

'Mary had a little lamb'.count("a")

但是如果你想用这个也可以:

sentence ='Mary had a little lamb'
   count=0;
    for letter in sentence :
        if letter=="a":
            count+=1
    print (count)

这个简单直接的函数可能会有帮助:

def check_freq(x):
    freq = {}
    for c in set(x):
       freq[c] = x.count(c)
    return freq

check_freq("abbabcbdbabdbdbabababcbcbab")
{'a': 7, 'b': 14, 'c': 3, 'd': 3}

如果需要理解:

def check_freq(x):
    return {c: x.count(c) for c in set(x)}

要查找句子中字符的出现情况，您可以使用下面的代码

首先，我从句子中取出了唯一的字符，然后我计算了每个字符在句子中的出现次数，其中包括空格的出现次数。

ab = set("Mary had a little lamb")

test_str = "Mary had a little lamb"

for i in ab:
  counter = test_str.count(i)
  if i == ' ':
    i = 'Space'
  print(counter, i)

以上代码的输出如下所示。

1 : r ,
1 : h ,
1 : e ,
1 : M ,
4 : a ,
1 : b ,
1 : d ,
2 : t ,
3 : l ,
1 : i ,
4 : Space ,
1 : y ,
1 : m ,

你可以使用.count():

>>> 'Mary had a little lamb'.count('a')
4

不使用Counter()， count和regex获得所有字符计数的另一种方法

counts_dict = {}
for c in list(sentence):
  if c not in counts_dict:
    counts_dict[c] = 0
  counts_dict[c] += 1

for key, value in counts_dict.items():
    print(key, value)

a = 'have a nice day'
symbol = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
for key in symbol:
    print(key, a.count(key))
