 #the complete code as required for hackerrank challenge.

def count_substring(string, sub_string):
    count=0
    for i in range(len(string)):
        for j in range(len(sub_string)):
            if string[i+j]==sub_string[j] and j==(len(sub_string)-1):
                count=count+1  
            if string[i+j]!=sub_string[j]:
                break  
        if i==len(string)-len(sub_string):
            break            
    return count


if __name__ == '__main__':
    string = input().strip()
    sub_string = input().strip()
    
    count = count_substring(string, sub_string)
    print(count)
