First off, I recommend that you do not write code in Polish — use English so that everyone can understand your code. Your error is here: > for a in zmienna: > if szukana in zmienna: You shouldn’t be looking in `zmienna`, you should be checking `a` — the letter of the word used in the current iteration. Moreover, you should use == for the comparison — compare the letter in the current iteration to 't'. The correct line WOULD be if a == szukana: BUT there is actually a better solution. You see, Python is a language with “batteries included” — that is, many things are already available for you to use without need to re-implement them. Just use str.count, which will do it for you: zmienna = 'traktorzysta' szukana = 't' print("Literka '",szukana,"' w słowie ",zmienna, "wystąpiła ",zmienna.count(szukana)," razy") -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
