- Exercise3

Encapsulate this code in a function named count, and generalize it so that it accepts the string and the letter as arguments.**

word = input('Please input a word:\n')
letter = input('input a letter you want to count:')
def count(word,letter):
    letter_num=0
    for i in word:
        if letter is i:
            letter_num+=1
    print(letter_num)

count(word, letter)

注意：关键语句在于判断所想要获得的字母是否在单词中，即：
for i in word：
if letter is i：
……

- Exercise 5
Take the following Python code that stores a string:‘
str = ’X-DSPAM-Confidence:0.8475’
Use find and string slicing to extract the portion of the string after the colon character and then use the float function to convert the extracted string into a floating point number.

str='X-DSPAM-Confidence: 0.8475'
sppos=str.find(' ')
print(sppos)
num=str[sppos+1:]
print(num)
print(type(num))
print(type(float(num)))
