Pls provide me a solution for this question

To find the word count

wordcount.py
# E.g. word_count("I do not like it Sam I Am") gets back a dictionary like:
# {'i': 2, 'do': 1, 'it': 1, 'sam': 1, 'like': 1, 'not': 1, 'am': 1}
# Lowercase the string to make it easier.

Providing complete code challenge solutions is discouraged in the forums. If you can show code you’ve tried or ask a more specific question we would be happy to help.

If you’re completely lost, here is a basic flow to try:

# split incoming string into a list of words
# loop over list of words
# for each word
#    if not seen add to dictionary with count 1
#    if seen before, increase seen count
# return string

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
