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:
s = ('bobobobobobob') count = 0 for i in range(len(s)): if s[i:i+3] == "bob": count += 1 print ('Number of times bob occurs is: ' + str(count))
