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 repeated elements in a list
# Basic syntax:
dict_of_counts = {item:your_list.count(item) for item in your_list}
# Example usage:
your_list = ["a", "b", "a", "c", "c", "a", "c"]
dict_of_counts = {item:your_list.count(item) for item in your_list}
print(dict_of_counts)
--> {'a': 3, 'b': 1, 'c': 3}
Example 3: how to find no of times a elements in list python
thislist = (1, 3, 7, 8, 7, 5, 4, 6, 8, 5)
x = thislist.count(5)
print(x)
Example 4: How to see how many times somting is in a list python
vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'i', 'u']
count = vowels.count('i')
Example 5: how to find the number of times a number appears in python
dict((i, a.count(i)) for i in a)
Example 6: count occurrences of value in array python
>>> l = ["a","b","b"]
>>> l.count("a")
