I feel silly, but I'm having the darndest time trying to figure out why this for counter won't work. I know that there is the count method for the string class, but I was just trying to do it the syntactical way to prove myself that I know the very basics. As of right now, my script is just returning 1 or 0, even if I very clearly make sure that I specify at least 4 instances of the digit in my number string:
number = raw_input('Enter a 7-unit number: ') digit = raw_input('Enter a single digit: ') for i in number: count = 0 if i == digit: count += 1 else: count = 0 print count Thanks, Brandon -- *Brandon Merritt** (707) 481-1744* * *
