Letter Inventory

The letterpress printer counts every letter in the phrase before setting the type. 🔤

You get a lowercase phrase (may include spaces — ignore them) and then a line of queries (comma-separated letters). For each query letter, print <letter> <count> on its own line.

Example:

Input: phrase = "banana bread", queries = ["a", "b", "z"] Output:

a 4
b 2
z 0

Tallying letters (ignoring the space) gives a=4, b=2, and z never appears at all, so its count reads as 0.
