The Minion Game

    Nice solution! I prefer a forward traversal (yours is reverse). Here's my version of your code:

    def count_substring(string, sub_string):
    counter = 0
    len_str = len(string)
    len_sub = len(sub_string)
    #looping over a set of numbers starting at 0 through the length of string exclusive
    for i in range(0, len_str):
        #if string's contents ranging from i through i plus the length of the sub_string
        #is equal to the sub_string
        if string[i:i+len_sub] == sub_string:
            #then increment the counter
            counter += 1
    return counter
