def count(file, word):

from os import path, sys

from collections import Counter

if path.isfile("notes.txt"):

return Counter(notes.read( ).lower( ).split( )).get(word)

else:

print("Some files seem to be missing...")

sys.exit( )

def number_of_words(fname)

with open ('file.txt') as f

count = count +1

print (count)

number_of_words('file.txt')
