Update: As a matter of fact, I did. Here's some Python code to prove it:
There's probably a bug or two in this I missed, but hey, it still proves I'm more of a programmer than Sam Altman ever will be.
the
for x in y
statement takes iterabley
and assigns a value from it tox
per iteration (loop), so what happens is that it's reassigningchosen_char
each loop to the next item from the sentence(
sum([x for x in sentence if x == chosen_char])
would be a quick one-liner, presuming one has downcased the sentence and other input/safety checks)(e: this post was in response to your 2-liner comment in the code)
