Example 1: count occurrences of value in array python
>>> l = ["a","b","b"]
>>> l.count("a")
Example 2: python find number of occurrences in list
student_grades = [9.1, 8.8, 10.0, 7.7, 6.8, 8.0, 10.0, 8.1, 10.0, 9.9]
samebnumber = student_grades.count(10.0)
print(samebnumber)
Example 3: how to count things in a list python
list.count(element)
list1 = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'orange', 'green', 'gray', 'green']
color_count = list1.count('green')
print('The count of color: green is ', color_count)
Example 4: count occurrence in array python
arr = np.array( [1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2])
occ = np.count_nonzero(arr==0)
print(occ)
0
occ = np.count_nonzero(arr==1)
print(occ)
2
Example 5: python counter
>>> # Tally occurrences of words in a list
>>> cnt = Counter()
>>> for word in ['red', 'blue', 'red', 'green', 'blue', 'blue']:
... cnt[word] += 1
>>> cnt
Counter({'blue': 3, 'red': 2, 'green': 1})
>>> # Find the ten most common words in Hamlet
>>> import re
>>> words = re.findall(r'\w+', open('hamlet.txt').read().lower())
>>> Counter(words).most_common(10)
[('the', 1143), ('and', 966), ('to', 762), ('of', 669), ('i', 631),
('you', 554), ('a', 546), ('my', 514), ('hamlet', 471), ('in', 451)]
Example 6: python counting dictionary
counts = dict()
for i in items:
counts[i] = counts.get(i, 0) + 1
