You're forgetting to increase the count each time you see a letter: * Look up the letter c in the dict, and call it count; * If c isn't found in the dict, use 0 as the count. * Set the value to count. But at no point do you increase count. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
