        vector<vector<int>> f(26, vector<int>(s.size() + 1));
        for(int i = 0; i < s.size(); i++){
            char c = s[i];
            if(c == ' ') continue;
            int pos = c - 'a';
            f[pos][i + 1]++;
        }
        for(int i = 0; i < 26; i++){
            for(int j = 1; j < f[i].size(); j++){
                f[i][j] += f[i][j - 1];
            }
        }
        int q;

            char c; cin >> c;
            int pos = c - 'a';
            int ans = f[pos][y] - f[pos][x - 1];
            cout << ans << '\n';
