title: How do I set a function parameter as a string in python?
body: <pre><code>def count(string,letter):
      count=0
      for each in string:
          if each==letter:
              count=count+1
      print count
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is there a way to set the parameters to automatically accept the inputs as strings so the user doesn't have to add the quotations?</p>
