# Nucleotide Count
Given a single stranded DNA string, compute how many times each nucleotide occurs in the string.
The genetic language of every living thing on the planet is DNA.
DNA is a large molecule that is built from an extremely long sequence of individual elements called nucleotides.
4 types exist in DNA and these differ only slightly and can be represented as the following symbols: 'A' for adenine, 'C' for cytosine, 'G' for guanine, and 'T' thymine.
Here is an analogy:
- twigs are to birds nests as
- nucleotides are to DNA as
- legos are to lego houses as
- words are to sentences as...
## Exception messages
Sometimes it is necessary to raise an exception. When you do this, you should include a meaningful error message to
indicate what the source of the error is. This makes your code more readable and helps significantly with debugging. Not
every exercise will require you to raise an exception, but for those that do, the tests will only pass if you include
a message.
To raise a message with an exception, just write it as an argument to the exception type. For example, instead of
`raise Exception`, you shold write:
```python
raise Exception("Meaningful message indicating the source of the error")
```
## Submitting Exercises
Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the solution is in the `exercism/python/<exerciseName>` directory.
For example, if you're submitting `bob.py` for the Bob exercise, the submit command would be something like `exercism submit <path_to_exercism_dir>/python/bob/bob.py`.
For more detailed information about running tests, code style and linting,
please see the [help page](http://exercism.io/languages/python).
