Python program to find the most occurring character and its count

In this article, we will learn about the solution and approach to solve the given problem statement.

Problem statement

Given an input string we need to find the most occurring character and its count.

Approach

• Create a dictionary using Counter method having strings as keys and their frequencies as values.

• Find the maximum occurrence of a character i.e. value and get the index of it.

Now let’s see the implementation below −

Example

from collections import Counter
   def find(input_):
   # dictionary
   wc = Counter(input_)
   # Finding maximum occurrence
   s = max(wc.values())
   i = wc.values().index(s)
   print (wc.items()[i])
# Driver program
if __name__ == "__main__":
   input_ = 'Tutorialspoint'
   find(input_)

Output

(‘t’,3)

All the variables and functions are declared in the global scope as shown below −
