Greetings everybody,
First off, I'm a 71 year old retired male at home trying to learn python. No schools involved. I just thought this was the best forum to start. I'm using a college testbook to study with.
I'm stuck with this question: "Write a loop that counts the number of space characters in a string.
Recall that the space character is represented as ' '."
with strings. How do you get a count in here??? I'm probably missing the point on something.
I did google and found this: print(y.count(' ')) Works well,but I still am missing the point on running this through a loop. How do I get a count in here?

y = ' '
for y in "To be, or not to be? That is the question." \
" Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer" \
"the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," \
" or to take arms against a sea of troubles, " \
"and, by opposing, end them?" :
if y ==' '
y = y + 1
print(y) The only thing i get when running is either the string or an error saying something about mixing int'swith strings. How do you get a count in here??? I'm probably missing the point on something.
