python find all occurrences in string code example

Example 1: python find all elements of substring in string

def find_all(a_str, sub):
    start = 0
    while True:
        start = a_str.find(sub, start)
        if start == -1: return
        yield start
        start += len(sub) # use start += 1 to find overlapping matches

list(find_all('spam spam spam spam', 'spam')) # [0, 5, 10, 15]

Example 2: python find number of occurrences in list

student_grades = [9.1, 8.8, 10.0, 7.7, 6.8, 8.0, 10.0, 8.1, 10.0, 9.9]

samebnumber = student_grades.count(10.0)

print(samebnumber)
