Write a program whose input is a character and a string, and whose output indicates the number of times the character appears in the string. The output should include the input character and use the plural form, n's, if the number of times the characters appears is not exactly 1. Ex: If the input is: n Monday the output is: 1 n Ex: If the input is: z Today is Monday the output is: 0 z's Ex: If the input is: n It's a sunny day the output is: 2 n's Case matters.

Answer:

The program in Python is as follows:

char = input("Character: ")[0]

string = input("String: ")

kount = string.count(char)

print(kount,char,end="")

if kount!=1:

print("'s")

Step-by-step explanation:

This gets character input

char = input("Character: ")[0]

This gets string input

string = input("String: ")

This counts the occurrence of char in string

kount = string.count(char)

This prints the number of occurrence and the character

print(kount,char,end="")

This prints 's, if kount is other than 1

if kount!=1:

print("'s")
