count_multy_char_x.py

# count_multi_char_x returns the number of times x appears in word. The function works when x is multiple characters long.



def count_multi_char_x(word, x):
  splits = word.split(x)
  return len(splits)-1


print(count_multi_char_x("mississippi", "iss"))
# should print 2
print(count_multi_char_x("apple", "pp"))
# should print 1
