counting number of values in list python code example

Example 1: count similar values in list python

MyList = ["a", "b", "a", "c", "c", "a", "c"]

return my_dict = {i:MyList.count(i) for i in MyList}
# returns :
{'a': 3, 'c': 3, 'b': 1}
 # OR
from collections import Counter
return my_dict = dict(Counter(MyList))
# returns :   
{'a': 3, 'c': 3, 'b': 1}
# the both returns the same so it's up to you to choose the one you prefere ;)

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: count number items in list python

mylist = ["abc", "def", "ghi", "jkl", "mno", "pqr"]

print(len(mylist))

# output 6
