Write a Python program that takes a String as an input and counts the frequency of each character using a dictionary.

[You are not allowed to use the count() function] Hint: You can create a new dictionary to store the frequencies. Ignore case for simplicity (i.e. consider P and p to be the same). keys need to be lower case Do not count space.

Question

Write a Python program that takes a String as an input and counts the frequency of each character using a dictionary. For solving this problem, you may use each character as a key and its frequency as values. [You are not allowed to use the count() function]

Hint:

  1. You can create a new dictionary to store the frequencies.
  2. Ignore case for simplicity (i.e. consider P and p to be the same).
  3. keys need to be lower case
  4. Do not count space. Remove space before counting.

example :  Sample Input:
"Python programming is fun"

Sample Output:
{'p': 2, 'y': 1, 't': 1, 'h': 1, 'o': 2, 'n': 3, 'r': 2, 'g': 2, 'a': 1, 'm': 2, 'i': 2, 's': 1, 'f': 1, 'u': 1}

def task11(in_str):
  # YOUR CODE HERE
   
    return dict_out

# please use in_str and dict_out
