Counting characters

In a file called char_count.py, write a function called ccount.

That function returns the string that was passed to it as an argument, followed by a colon and the number of characters in the string, also called “string length”.

If your function is called with Yo, cats for example,it will return Yo, cats:8.

Use the test code below to validate your function.

The skeleton or your code is similar to the previous exercises.

Hint: you might need to use str() to convert the string length to a string.

Test code
