python count syntax 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: freq count in python

freq = {} 
    for item in my_list: 
        if (item in freq): 
            freq[item] += 1
        else: 
            freq[item] = 1

Example 3: count in python string

string.count(substring, start, end)
# Start and end is optional

Example 4: count substring in string python

def count_substring(string,sub_string):
    l=len(sub_string)
    count=0
    for i in range(len(string)-len(sub_string)+1):
        if(string[i:i+len(sub_string)] == sub_string ):      
            count+=1
    return count
