How to make a string into array of characters?

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, Feb 24 '19 at 15:47
Note that an [`array`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/array.html) in Python is not the same thing as a `list`. — user200783, Feb 24 '19 at 16:17

Use `list()`

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