Answer 1

In Python:

sttr = input("String: ")

ch = input("Character: ")

count = sttr.count(ch)

print(str(count)+" "+ch, end = '')

if count>1 or count==0:

print("'s")

Step-by-step explanation:

This prompts the user for string

sttr = input("String: ")

This prompts the user for character

ch = input("Character: ")

This counts the number of occurrence

count = sttr.count(ch)

This prints the number of occurrence of the character

print(str(count)+" "+ch, end = '')

This checks if the number of occurrence is 0 or greater than 1.

if count>1 or count==0:

If yes, it prints 's

print("'s")
