Really some smart dudes just make it hard but real smart guys also gives comments for nubs like me lol

thx for the coments

Golden comments, thank you very much

SUUUUUUUUUPER underrated!! Look at what commenting provides compared to the other code examples!

thx for explaining!

Same that the top ranked solution but the comments makes this one better.

Thank you for explaining that is such simple terms

There's only one unit test that has a character that occurs 15 times. The string for that is:

IWT LDGAS XH HIXAA P LTXGS EAPRT, STHEXIT BN TUUDGIH ID BPZT RATPG PCS ETGUTRI HTCHT DU XI.

Not sure why you are getting that string back for the failed test.

('text', 'I had 1 item then I had 4 now I have 5. How nice.')
('letters', ['1', '4', '5', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'c', 'd', 'd', 'e', 'e', 'e', 'e', 'h', 'h', 'h', 'h', 'h', 'i', 'i', 'i', 'i', 'i', 'm', 'n', 'n', 'n', 'o', 'o', 't', 't', 'v', 'w', 'w'])
[('h', 5), ('i', 5), ('e', 4), ('a', 3), ('n', 3), ('d', 2), ('o', 2), ('t', 2), ('w', 2), ('1', 1), ('4', 1), ('5', 1), ('c', 1), ('m', 1), ('v', 1)]
15 should equal 12

I don't see a letter that occurs 15 times. The letter that occurs the most is h, with 5 times. This is the test case it fails on.

One of the test cases has one letter occur 12 times.

tricky

For one of the last test cases I am receiving an error "15 should equal 12", yet if I print the test case, '15' does not occur anywhere in the string and neither is there any letter that occurs 15 or 12 times within the string. Any help?

Updated and closed the string correctly. Thanks.

There's a typo in the function call example in the description, the string is not properly enclosed.
