            str= str.lower().strip()
            str = str.strip(string.punctuation)
            list1=list(str)
            lcDict= {}
            for l in list1:
                    if l.isalpha():
                            if l in lcDict:
                                    lcDict[l] +=1
                            else:
                                    lcDict[l]= 1
