Example 1: counter method in python
from collections import Counter
list1 = ['x','y','z','x','x','x','y','z']
print(Counter(list1))
Example 2: counter method in python
Counter({'o': 3, ' ': 3, 'u': 3, 'e': 2, 'l': 2, 't': 2, 'r': 2, '9': 2, 'W': 1,
'c': 1, 'm': 1, 'G': 1, 'T': 1, 'i': 1, 'a': 1, 's': 1, '!': 1})
Example 3: python collections to dictionary
list = ["a","c","c","a","b","a","a","b","c"]
cnt = Counter(list)
od = OrderedDict(cnt.most_common())
for key, value in od.items():
print(key, value)
Example 4: python counter
>>> c = Counter(a=4, b=2, c=0, d=-2)
>>> d = Counter(a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4)
>>> c.subtract(d)
>>> c
Counter({'a': 3, 'b': 0, 'c': -3, 'd': -6})
