how to count repeated elements in list python 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: count the duplicates in a list in python

some_list=['a','b','c','b','d','m','n','n']

 my_list=sorted(some_list)
 
duplicates=[]
for i in my_list:
     if my_list.count(i)>1:
         if i not in duplicates:
             duplicates.append(i)
 
print(duplicates)

Example 3: count number of repeats in list python

mylist.count(element)
