this is the real code
with
urllib.request.urlopen("https://www.sdstate.edu/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science";)
as cs:
cs_page = cs.read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(cs_page, "html.parser")
print(len(soup.body.find_all(string = ["Engineering","engineering"])))
i used control + f on the link in the code and i get 11 for ctrl + f and 3 for
the code
THanks
