Q:

Count the number of periods (.) there are in the file.
Use the built-in function count() on the file after you have converted it
to a string.
Answer with the result as an integer.
I've no idea to do this..please help!

A:

try as follow
with open('file.txt') as f:
    file_content = f.read()

result = file_content.count('.')

result will be the number of periods.
