Comparing #python to #rstats

Now that we have a function to check whether or not the word is in the tweet in multiple places, we can deploy this across multiple words and compare them. Let's return to our example with the data science hashtag dataset. We want to see how many times that #rstats occurs compared to #python.

The data science hashtag dataset ds_tweets has been loaded for you.
