Question

 I am writing a program that produce a frequency plot of the letters in a body of text. however, there is an error in my code that I can not spot it. am using python 2.7, and the error point at (line3 freqs[char]+=1). any ideas?(i just posted this question and he or she copied and paste my question as an answer, so please if u do not know it do not answer). there is my code:  def letter_count(word,freqs,pmarks): for char in word:     freqs[char]+=1 def letter_freq(fname): fhand = open(fname) freqs = dict() alpha = list(string.uppercase[:26]) for let in alpha: freqs[let] = freqs.get(let,0) for line in fhand:     line = line.rstrip()     words = line.split()     pmarks = list(string.punctuation)     words = [word.upper() for word in words]     for word in words:         letter_count(word,freqs,pmarks)                                                                                     fhand.close()  return freqs.values 

Explanation / Answer

see You are calling in your code

freqs[char]+=1

but with the char = '.' without initialized a value freqs['.']=0

thats why it is showing an error
