The **`Count` function** counts the number of times a substring appears inside a `string`.

To use this function, you must import the `strings` package in your file and access the `Count` function within it using the `.` notation (`string.Count`). Here, `Count` is the actual function, while **`string`** is the Go package that stores the definition of this function.
#   
## Function definiton
The definition of the `Count` function inside the `string` package is shown below.

#    
## Parameters

The `Count` function takes two arguments:

* **`str`**: This argument is of the `string` type and represents the text you want to search in.

* **`substr`**: This argument is also of the `string` type and represents the part of the text that you want to search.

## Return value
The `Count` function returns the number of #key# instances: excluding overlapping instances #key# of a substring present in the given `string`. 

However, if the substring is empty, the `Count` function returns one more than the number of Unicode code characters used in the given `string`. 


## Code

Below is a simple example where we find the number of overlapping instances of `ee` in the given phrase.


package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.Count("Beep Beep I'm a Sheep", "ee"))
}

The following code example shows that the `Count` function outputs the length of the `string` plus 1 when you give an empty substring as an argument.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.Count("Beep Beep I'm a Sheep", ""))
}

What is the Count function in Golang?

Counts occurrences of a substring in a string, excluding overlaps. Returns length+1 if substring is empty.
