name: Count string letter
about: A function that counts specific letters in a string.

Resolves #18

Behavior

-This function takes a sentence and a letter and counts the number of times the letter appears in the sentence.

  • The input can only be a string otherwise the function would result in an error
  • The output is a string containing the number of times the letter appears in the given sentence.

Files

  • The file name describes the function's behavior
  • There is a module docstring in the function file
  • The test file's name matches the function file name -
    /tests/test_file_name.py
  • There is a module docstring in the tests file

Unit Tests

  • The test class has a helpful name in PascalCase
  • The test class has a docstring
  • Every unit test has
    • A helpful name
    • A clear docstring
    • Only one assertion
    • There is no logic in the unit test
  • All tests pass
  • There are tests for defensive assertions
  • There are tests for boundary cases

Function Docstring

  • The function's behavior is described
  • The function's arguments are described:
    • Type
    • Purpose
    • Other assumptions (eg. if it's a number, what's the expected range?)
  • The return value is described
    • Type
    • Other assumptions are documented
  • The defensive assertions are documented using Raises:
    • Each assumption about an argument is checked with an assertion
    • Each assertion checks for only one assumption about the argument
  • Include 3 or more (passing!) doctests

The Function

  • The function's name describes it's behavior
  • The function's name matches the file name
  • The function has correct type annotations
  • The function is not called in the function file

Strategy

Do's

  • Variable names help to understand the strategy
  • Any comments are clear and describe the strategy
  • Lines of code are spaced to help show different stages of the strategy

Don'ts

  • The function's strategy is not described in the documentation
  • Comments explain the strategy, not the implementation
  • The function does not have more comments than code
    • If it does, consider finding a new strategy or a simpler implementation

Implementation

  • The code passes the formatting checks
  • The code passes all Ruff linting checks
  • The code has no (reasonable) Pylint errors
    • In code review, you can decide when fixing a Pylint error is helpful and
      when it's too restricting.
  • Variables are named with snake_case
  • Variable names are clear and helpful
  • The code follows the strategy as simply as possible
  • The implementation is as simple as possible given the strategy
  • There are no commented lines of code
  • There are no print statements anywhere
  • The code includes defensive assertions
  • Defensive assertions include as little logic as possible

A great code you have got here @Hopeeid. I wanted to let you know that there is no module header in each file.
Also, I wanted to ask why you chose to return a sentence when you could have just returned an integer.
