python count character frequency in string code example

Example 1: freq count in python

freq = {} 
    for item in my_list: 
        if (item in freq): 
            freq[item] += 1

Example 2: python codes for counting the occurrence of a letters in dictionary excluding digits

def count_letters(text):
      result = {}
      # Go through each letter in the text
      for letter in text:
        # Check if the letter needs to be counted or not
        if letter not in result:
          result[letter.lower()] = 1
        # Add or increment the value in the dictionary
        else:
          result[letter.lower()] += 1
      return result

    print(count_letters("AaBbCc"))
    # Should be {'a': 2, 'b': 2, 'c': 2}

    print(count_letters("Math is fun! 2+2=4"))
    # Should be {'m': 1, 'a': 1, 't': 1, 'h': 1, 'i': 1, 's': 1, 'f': 1, 'u': 1, 'n': 1}

    print(count_letters("This is a sentence."))
    # Should be {'t': 2, 'h': 1, 'i': 2, 's': 3, 'a': 1, 'e': 3, 'n': 2, 'c': 1}
