y. This challenge will help you write code to present frequency data for characters in strings. Dictionaries are very good data structures for organizing data in a readable format. Your aim is to write a function called word_counter, which will take in a line of text and output a dictionary with each letter as a key, the value being the frequency of appearance of the letter.

Need help with this:
Given a word, write a function that will output a dictionary that will give each character of the word and its frequency.
Due to its key-value pair format, dictionaries can be used to present some forms of structured data in an easily readable way. This challenge will help you write code to present frequency data for characters in strings.
Dictionaries are very good data structures for organizing data in a readable format. Your aim is to write a function called word_counter, which will take in a line of text and output a dictionary with each letter as a key, the value being the frequency of appearance of the letter.
Steps
-
Define the function word_counter and have it take a string argument.
-
Iterate through the string and count the occurrences of each character.
-
Output each character as a key in the output dictionary, with the frequency as the value.
-
At the end of your script, call the word_counter function as shown in Snippet 6.46, pass it the string "Mississippi" and print it to the console. Here is an example:
print(word_counter("Mississippi"))
