Question

Your friend really likes talking about owls. Write a function owl_count that takes a block of text and counts how many words they say have word “owl” in them. Any word with “owl” in it should count, so “owls,” “owlette,” and “howl” should all count.
Here’s what an example run of your program might look like:

text = "I really like owls. Did you know that an owl's eyes are more than twice as big as the eyes of other birds of comparable weight? And that when an owl partially closes its eyes during the day, it is just blocking out light? Sometimes I wish I could be an owl."
owl_count(text)
# => 4
Hints

You will need to use the split method!


Here is what I have so far, it doesn not like count = 0 and i keep getting an error.
def owl_count(text):

count = 0

word = 'owl'

text = text.lower()

owlist = list(text.split())

count = text.count(word)


text = "I really like owls. Did you know that an owl's eyes are more than twice as big as the eyes of other birds of comparable weight? And that when an owl partially closes its eyes during the day, it is just blocking out light? Sometimes I wish I could be an owl."
print (count)

Text = “ I really like owls. Did you know that an owls eyes are more than twice as big as the eyes of other birds of comparable weight? And that when an owl partially closes its eyes during the day, it is just blocking out light? Sometimes I wish I could be an owl.

word = ‘owl’
texts = text.lower()
owlist = list(texts.split())
count = text.count(word)
num = [owlist, count] #num has no meaning just random var
print(num)


Alter in anyway you want so that you can succeed. ✌
