It's asking whether szukana is in zmienna for each character in zmienna.

There are 12 characters in zmienna, so it's asking 12 times.

Because szukana is in zmienna, it adds 1 to count each time, giving a
total of 12.

If szukana wasn't in zmienna, then nothing would be added to count,
giving a total of 0.

The body of the loop should be:

      for a in zmienna:
          if a == szukana:
              count += 1

Other notes:

0 is already an int, so int(0) is just 0!

There's no need for the 'else' part in the 'if' statement

Strings have a .count method, so you can, in fact, simplify it to just:

def gen():
    return zmienna.count(szukana)
