What parts do you not understand? What parts do you understand?

Do you know how to do that?
Consider the input() function.

Do you know how to separate a string into separate fields?
Consider the string.split() method.

Do you know how to find the length of a string
Consider the len() function

Do you know how to increment a counter for a condition?
Consider the if construct and addition operator

AND (b) the first and last
> character of the string value are the same. 

Do you know how to extract the first and last characters of a string?
Consider indexing

Do you know how to logically combine tests (with AND in this case?)
Consider the boolean operators.


> Input: abc,xyz,aba,1221,1
> Output: 2 

Do you understand why the output is 2?
Can you write code that produces that result?

Input: abc, xyz , alpha Output: 1 [Note that the second string (
> xyz ) has SPACE at the start and at the end; while the last string ( alpha)

Including spaces as part of the fields is sneaky but does
not, in practice, make things any more easy or difficult.

Note that we do not do homework for you, but we will review
your code and offer suggestions(as above0 to help you do
your homework.
