Hey there, I'm trying to count how many letter arrangements are possible by using the algorithm below (for Maple TA). It's a bit crude but the console tells me countcharacteroccurences second argument must be a string, but it works for the earlier letters. Can someone please give me a bit of guidance?

disp := word[rintS()];
