Create a function that takes a character and a string as arguments and returns the number of times the character is found in the string.

Examples

charCount('a', "edabit") ➞ 1

charCount('c', "Chamber of secrets") ➞ 1

charCount('b', "big fat bubble") ➞ 4

Notes

Your output must be case-sensitive (see second example).

Watch a quick demo on how Edabit works.
