tell it to use python

Writing the prompt would literally take longer than writing the code: list("Billy").count("l")

kek yes, if you know how to do that.
they really should put in the system prompt to use python (or js or whatever) for any task which involves counting characters
but they're burning money so they probably can't afford it

claude is smart enough to write the word out even without thinking to count it
