Using Python 2.7, I was attempting to count the number of occurances of \'bob\' in the phrase \'bobbbobobboobobookobobbobbboj.\' To do this, I wrote the code below:
start=0 count=0 while start<=len(s): n=s.find('b',start,len(s)) prnt=(s[start:start+3]) if prnt =='bob': start=n+2 count+=1 else: start+=1 print count
