python how to count number of items in a list 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 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 3: how to count things in a list python

len(s)

Example 6: how to find length of list python

my_list = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

length_of_list = len(my_list)
