/*
Write a function called countChars that accepts two parameters: a string and a character. This function should return a number representing the number of times that the character appears in string. To access the first element of a string, you can use the following syntax:

  access the element at index 0
"hello"[0]; // => "h"
"dog"[0]; // => "d"

HINT: You'll also need to make use of the slice method
*/

function countChars(string, character) {
  // your code here
  // start solution

  // end solution
}

I am doing this prep and I am completly lost.
