python collections counter example

Example 1: collections.counter in python

>>> from collections import Counter
>>> 
>>> myList = [1,1,2,3,4,5,3,2,3,4,2,1,2,3]
>>> print Counter(myList)
Counter({2: 4, 3: 4, 1: 3, 4: 2, 5: 1})
>>>
>>> print Counter(myList).items()
[(1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 4), (4, 2), (5, 1)]
>>> 
>>> print Counter(myList).keys()
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> 
>>> print Counter(myList).values()
[3, 4, 4, 2, 1]

Example 2: python counter

>>> Counter('abracadabra').most_common(3)
[('a', 5), ('r', 2), ('b', 2)]

Example 3: collections counter

# importing the collections module
import collections
# intializing the arr
arr = [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3]
# getting the elements frequencies using Counter class
elements_count = collections.Counter(arr)
# printing the element and the frequency
for key, value in elements_count.items():
   print(f"{key}: {value}")

Example 4: 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)
