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
list.count(element)
list1 = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'orange', 'green', 'gray', 'green']
color_count = list1.count('green')
print('The count of color: green is ', color_count)
Example 4: count number items in list python
mylist = ["abc", "def", "ghi", "jkl", "mno", "pqr"]
print(len(mylist))
# output 6
Example 5: python count list
# vowels list
vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'i', 'u']
# count element 'i'
count = vowels.count('i')
# print count
print('The count of i is:', count)
# count element 'p'
count = vowels.count('p')
# print count
print('The count of p is:', count)
