result difference between len() and count()

hi everybody, I could not understand why python return different result in len and count founctions? For example, result of below listed two functions will be :

a = 'hello' len(a) 5 a.count('') 6

Could you please explain this, why count add one to the result?

Thanks in advance, Shahin
