Does 'touch' mean something for a linguistic / grammatical standpoint? Or is this just a 'joke' problem of some sort?

The description is not sufficient to define the inputs and outputs of the wanted function.

I don't understand the meaning of "Does it touch?" (maybe because I am French) . Even by looking at the test suite , it doesn't help. Eric Could you explain more which task we have to achieve ? Thanks.

Sorry guys, I correct it.

All posted solutions as of today incorrectly detect "ph", such as in the word "phone" which should return 0. Add a test case for "ph", which would complicate matters?

Count the b's, m's and p's?

Yep Richard. It's a part of phonemes that are to be isolated while voice recognition.
