Character frequency in a string (Python 3.9)

Question

How can you count the characters (characters frequency) in a string without using if, while or for?

At some level, there will be a need for/while to iterate the string. And an if statement to count a single character — OneCricketeer, Mar 06 '21 at 16:28
iterate through all unique characters in string using `for char in set(your_string): print(your_string.count(char))` — Shijith, Mar 06 '21 at 16:29

You can use Counter, it returns a dictionary with character as a key and its frequency as its value.

from collections import Counter
x = "abcdasbdd"
print(Counter(x))

Output

Counter({'d': 3, 'a': 2, 'b': 2, 'c': 1, 's': 1})
