Terminal Exercises - number 23

[Omeostasi]

Hi everybody,
I would start by saying that I love this project, and I am a newbie in the bioinformatics world (I come from biotechnology, with little to no coding involved).
I was trying to solve exercise number 23, whose purpose is to use "grep" and "wc" to find how many times "Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy" appear in the text.
I thought I solved it, because I matched the format required for the output, and my code makes sense to me, but I believe that the numbers I get (for the word count) are wrong (I don't get the second exercise criterion checked).

This is my code:
I created this script called "count-names.sh"
' #!/bin/bash

for name in "$@";
do
count=$(grep -o -i -w $name LittleWomen.txt | wc -l)
echo "$name: $count;" >> stats.txt
done'

Then I ran it as: ' bash count-names.sh "Jo" "Meg" "Beth" "Amy" '

This is my output:
'Jo: 1362;
Meg: 686;
Beth: 467;
Amy: 652; '

Any hints on what is wrong?

Thanks @Omeostasi, that actually looks like an error in the tutorial, sorry about that!

I'll fix it shortly, but your answer is indeed correct.
