i'm guessing you forgot to add return?

def seq(dna):
    dna = dna.count("ATG")
    return dna

print seq("ATGSDSGFAGEFRASFWET")

1 - Strip your major string in a array of strings with size 3.

2 - Do an iteration in your array of strings and compare with string "ATG" - If the comparison is true, increment in 1 an int auxiliar variable

3 - Display the result of the auxiliar int variable
