Yes, you're wrong! :-)

the correct form is as shown

count = dict()

Its calling the type operation which looks like
any other function and uses ().

The more common way to create an empty dictionary
is to use {} alone, like:

count = {}

Although count is probably a bad name choice since
collections usually merit a plural name, eg counts

But the OP's problems lie earlier in the code,
as Mark has suggested.
