Thank you for your effort on implementing the count_occurrences function! 😊 You've done a great job in making the function case insensitive and using Python's built-in string methods effectively. However, there's a small but critical issue that needs to be addressed: the function currently returns a float instead of an integer. This is because the return value is being inadvertently converted to a float. To fix this, simply return the result of phrase.lower().count(letter.lower()) directly, as it already provides the count as an integer. Once this is corrected, your solution will perfectly meet the task requirements. Keep up the great work! 🚀

The function count_occurrences is expected to return an integer, representing the count of occurrences of letter in phrase. However, the current implementation returns a float because the count method is used correctly, but there is no need for division. Simply return the result of phrase.lower().count(letter.lower()) to get an integer.

Great job on implementing the count_occurrences function! 🎉 Your solution effectively counts the occurrences of a letter in a phrase, ignoring case, and aligns well with the task requirements. However, there's a small issue in the return statement where the result of the count method is unnecessarily cast to an integer. Since count already returns an integer, you can simply return phrase.lower().count(letter.lower()) without the int() conversion.

The return statement should not cast the result of count to an integer. The count method already returns an integer, so the int() conversion is unnecessary and misleading. Simply return phrase.lower().count(letter.lower()).
