Python program to count the occurrences of a word in a text file

sure! below is a tutorial on how to create a python program that counts the occurrences of a specific word in a text file.

1. **reading the text file**: the first step is to read the content of the text file. you can use the `open()` function to open the file and then read its content using the `read()` method.

2. **counting word occurrences**: after reading the content of the file, you can split the text into words and then iterate through each word to count the occurrences of the word you are interested in.

3. **ignoring case sensitivity**: you can choose to make the search case-insensitive by converting both the target word and the words in the text file to lowercase before comparing them.

4. **displaying the result**: finally, you can print the total number of occurrences of the word in the text file.

here is an example python program that implements the above steps:

in this program:
- replace `'python'` with the word you want to count the occurrences of.
- the function `count_word_occurrences()` reads the text file, counts the occurrences of the target word, and returns the count.
- the program then prints the result, showing how many times the target word appears in the text file.

you can run this program in a python environment to count the occurrences of a word in a text file.
