See more:

p="foo foo quux labs foo barquux".split()
d={}
s=[]
count=1
for x in p:
	if x not in s:
		d.update({x:count})
		
	    s.append(x)
	else:
		d[x]+=1
print(d)

What I have tried:

Hello In this program, I intend to count the occurrence of each word in a sentence and store it in a dictionary format.
But I get an indentation error at:

s.append(x)

I dont understand why. Please explain

Simple, you have mixed spaces and tab differently from previous line.

Python

p="foo foo quux labs foo barquux".split()
d={}
s=[]
count=1
for x in p:
	if x not in s:
		d.update({x:count}) # this line indentation is [tab][tab]
		
	    s.append(x) # this line indentation is [tab][space][space][space][space]
	else:
		d[x]+=1
print(d)

Visually it is the same, but not for the compiler.
