How Many Times Does the Word Appear?

The parrot learned one favorite word and sprinkles it into every sentence. 🦜

You get a list of words the parrot squawked and the favorite word. Count how many times the favorite appears and print the count.

Example:

Input: words = ["hello", "cracker", "hello", "ship", "hello"], favorite = "hello" Output: 3

hello shows up at positions 0, 2, and 4 — that's 3 matches.
