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):
if not isinstance(text, str):
raise TypeError("Text must be a string")
if not isinstance(target, str):
raise TypeError("Target must be a string")
if len(target) != 1:
raise ValueError("Target must be exactly one character")
count = 0
for char in text:
if char.lower() == target.lower():
count += 1
return count
