list value countes 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: 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.
