Question: Write Python 3.12 code only.
Define exactly one function named count_target_letter(text, target).
Return how many times the target letter appears in the string.
Count should be case-insensitive.
Raise TypeError for non-string input, and raise ValueError if target is not exactly one character.
Do not use any imports (no numpy, requests, or other libraries).
Sandbox note: dunder attribute access is blocked (for example, type(x).__name__). Avoid names/attributes starting with '__'.
Expected output format:
- Return exactly one fenced Markdown code block starting with ```python and ending with ```.
- Put only valid Python code inside that block (no prose before/after).
- Use 4 spaces for indentation (not tabs).
- Do not return JSON and do not wrap code in a "function" key.
Sample input/output behavior:
- count_target_letter("Mississippi", "s") -> 4
Task:
Write a Python 3.12 function for 'how many times does the target letter appear in a string'.
Submitted code
def count_target_letter(text, target):
"""Counts the number of occurrences of the target letter in the string.
Args:
text (str): The string to search for the target letter in.
target (str): The target letter to find.
Returns:
int: The number of occurrences of the target letter in the string.
Raises:
TypeError: If the input is not a string.
ValueError: If the target letter is not exactly one character long.
"""
# Convert the string to lowercase for case-insensitive search.
text = text.lower()
# Check if the target letter is in the string.
if target not in text:
raise ValueError("Target letter '{}' not found in the string.".format(target))
return text.count(target)
# Example usage.
print(count_target_letter("Mississippi", "s"))
