I recently asked a similar question, but I received answers where my input was supposed to be a number. Is it possible to count how many specific characters you have in a word? As in "example" you have "2 and".

What specifics? Count all occurrences of 2 or of and or of any character?

The question is not duplicate, I see. There were to count the equal characters at the end of the input

From what I understand, none of the answers to the other question satisfy the question.

Yes, the other question uses mathematical methods, and not for words, I was kind of confused that they marked this as duplicate

Use the str.count:

"exemplo".count("e")
=> 2
