Python Program to Count Characters Frequency in a String

Write a Python program to count characters frequency in a string using for loop and dictionary. In this example, the for loop iterates the whole string. We assigned all the character count to the dictionary keys.

string = input("Please enter the Your Own String = ")
chardict = {}

for num in string:
    keys = chardict.keys()
    if num in keys:
        chardict[num] += 1
    else:
        chardict[num] = 1

print(chardict)

This program counts all the characters frequency in a given string using a Counter collection.

from collections import Counter

string = input("Please enter the Your Own String = ")

chars = Counter(string)

print("Total Characters Frequency in this String = ")
print(chars)

Please enter the Your Own String = hello python programmers
Total Characters Frequency in this String = 
Counter({'o': 3, 'r': 3, 'h': 2, 'e': 2, 'l': 2, ' ': 2, 'p': 2, 'm': 2, 'y': 1, 't': 1, 'n': 1, 'g': 1, 'a': 1, 's': 1})
