this is the real code


with urllib.request.urlopen("https://www.sdstate.edu/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science") as cs:
    cs_page = cs.read()
    soup = BeautifulSoup(cs_page, "html.parser")
    print(len(soup.body.find_all(string = ["Engineering","engineering"])))

i used control + f on the link in the code and i get 11 for ctrl + f and 3 for the code

What is the URL of the web page?
