There are many related questions to this, although they do not explain how to take words inputted by the user and use them in an equation. How would I do this?

    What have you tried? What questions have you looked at, and what part do you not understand? – abarnert Nov 03 '14 at 22:08

do you mean find the length of the string use len("string")

if you want to find the number of letters of a distinct type use counter

from collections import Counter 
a = Counter("stringsss")
print a['s']
