How many time a word exists in a string python

Question

Problem:

I am new in python programming language and I have been doing a online python course. I am doing my coding practice. I tried to check out in a string how many time word does exist or appear. I wrote this code to check this thing:

test = "If you do not do this you have to do this again"

Appearence = test.count("do" 0, 100)
print("Appearence")

but it does not compile and gives the error message:

  File "str.py", line 3
    Appearence = test.count("do" 0, 100)
                                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Can anyone help me out to solve this thing. Thank you in advance.

“count” method is absoloutly perfect to count this hing but your logics are not right in the programm. 

So write your code as:

test = "If you do not do this you have to do this again"

print(test.count("If", 0, 100))
print(test.count("you", 0, 100))
print(test.count("do", 0, 100))
print(test.count("not", 0, 100))
print(test.count("this", 0, 100))
print(test.count("have", 0, 100))
print(test.count("to", 0, 100))
print(test.count("again", 0, 100))

The given codes output will be:

1
2
3
1
2
1
1
1

Hope you understand the thing and it helps you.

Happy coding.
