Counter() is a very powerful tool, but is probably a overuse for the task. We can simply compare two strings without turning them into dictionaries:

Hi Fesobi, I noticed that you were writing your codes on a separate file with a different format. I can see that you are doing the right thing with both tasks. However, for the next assignment, please consider modifying the provided assignment file and keep the format the same, it will make the marking more of a sooth and fair process.
