给定一个无序的值列表,比如

a = [5, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 5, 2]

我怎样才能得到出现在列表中的每个值的频率,就像这样?

# `a` has 4 instances of `1`, 4 of `2`, 2 of `3`, 1 of `4,` 2 of `5`
b = [4, 4, 2, 1, 2] # expected output

Python 2.7+引入了字典理解。从列表中构建字典将获得计数并去除重复项。

>>> a = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5]
>>> d = {x:a.count(x) for x in a}
>>> d
{1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 2, 4: 1, 5: 2}
>>> a, b = d.keys(), d.values()
>>> a
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> b
[4, 4, 2, 1, 2]

通过遍历列表并计算它们,手动计算出现的数量,使用collections.defaultdict跟踪到目前为止看到的内容:

from collections import defaultdict

appearances = defaultdict(int)

for curr in a:
    appearances[curr] += 1

在Python 2.7(或更新版本)中,可以使用集合。计数器:

>>> import collections
>>> a = [5, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 5, 2]
>>> counter = collections.Counter(a)
>>> counter
Counter({1: 4, 2: 4, 5: 2, 3: 2, 4: 1})
>>> counter.values()
dict_values([2, 4, 4, 1, 2])
>>> counter.keys()
dict_keys([5, 1, 2, 4, 3])
>>> counter.most_common(3)
[(1, 4), (2, 4), (5, 2)]
>>> dict(counter)
{5: 2, 1: 4, 2: 4, 4: 1, 3: 2}
>>> # Get the counts in order matching the original specification,
>>> # by iterating over keys in sorted order
>>> [counter[x] for x in sorted(counter.keys())]
[4, 4, 2, 1, 2]

如果您使用的是Python 2.6或更老版本,可以在这里下载实现。

如果列表是排序的,你可以使用itertools标准库中的groupby(如果不是,你可以先排序,尽管这需要O(nlgn)时间):

from itertools import groupby

a = [5, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 5, 2]
[len(list(group)) for key, group in groupby(sorted(a))]

输出:

[4, 4, 2, 1, 2]

还有一种方法是使用字典和列表。数数,下面一种幼稚的做法。

dicio = dict()

a = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5]

b = list()

c = list()

for i in a:

   if i in dicio: continue 

   else:

      dicio[i] = a.count(i)

      b.append(a.count(i))

      c.append(i)

print (b)

print (c)

如果您不想使用任何库并保持简单和简短,可以尝试这种方法!

a = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5]
marked = []
b = [(a.count(i), marked.append(i))[0] for i in a if i not in marked]
print(b)

o/p

[4, 4, 2, 1, 2]
