How to make a string into array of characters? [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to split a user input string into array of characters to count the number of occurrence of each character. Below is my code

input=input()
list=input.split()
print(list)

when i input string aaasssfffgggg it gave the output ['aaasssfffgggg'] .But i need it as a array of characters

I can't test rn but list(inp) should give the right result. Also don't name the variable input; you are overwriting the function — user8408080

Note that an array in Python is not the same thing as a list. — user200783

Use `list()`

my_string = 'hello'
l = list(my_string)
# ['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']
