[Tutor] learning to programming questions part 2

[keith papa]

Hi am leaning to program in python with the book "think python" I have read both chapters 1 and 2 about string and variables and keywords., so I decide to look online for some practice to help me and I found something on http://www.pyschools.com/
1.Write the function countA(word) that takes in a word as argument and returns the number of 'a' in that word.Examples    >>> countA("apple")
    1
    >>> countA("Apple")
    0
    >>> countA("Banana")
    3The code starts out with>>>def countA(word):I have tried many different code to get the answer but am getting it right.I have tried:1. >>>def countA(apple):("a")2. >>>print ("apple")
def count('a')3. >>>("apple").count("a")4. >>>countA= apple.count ("a")#help me solve this
