find count of element 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 count matching elements in a list

# Basic syntax:
sum(1 for item in your_list if item == "some_condition")
# This counts the items in your_list for which item == "some_condition"
#	is true. Of course, this can be changed to any conditional statement

Example 3: python how to count all elements in a list

List = ["Elephant", "Snake", "Penguin"]

print(len(List))

#	With the 'len' function Python counts the amount of elements 
#	in a list (The length of the list).
#	In this case the output is '3' because there are 3 elements in the list.

Example 4: count item in list python

Example 5: count number items in list python

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

# output 6

Example 6: python count value in list
