Keep in mind, I am VERY new to python. Im trying to do this:
There is a string method called 'count'. Write an invocation that counts the number of 'a's in banana.
How do I do the above syntactically in python.
Thanks

Heres how you would do it. You would want to use the list function to make the letters list, then you could count.
CODE
wordlist = list("banana")
That will assign the variable wordlist to be an array, and that array will have all the letters in banana.
To count how many there are now, you could do:
CODE
print wordlist.count("a")
and that should output 3.
Hope this helps.
