在Python中,给定一个项目,如何在列表中计算它的出现次数?


一个相关但不同的问题是计算集合中每个不同元素的出现次数,将字典或列表作为直方图结果而不是单个整数。有关该问题,请参阅使用字典统计列表中的项目。


当前回答

list.count(x)返回x在列表中出现的次数

如果您想一次计算所有值,可以使用numpy数组和bincount非常快速地完成,如下所示

import numpy as np
a = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 4, 1])
np.bincount(a)

这给出了

>>> array([0, 3, 1, 1, 2])

虽然这是一个很古老的问题,但由于我没有找到一个单行,所以我做了一个。

# original numbers in list
l = [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4]

# empty dictionary to hold pair of number and its count
d = {}

# loop through all elements and store count
[ d.update( {i:d.get(i, 0)+1} ) for i in l ]

print(d)
# {1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 1}
x = ['Jess', 'Jack', 'Mary', 'Sophia', 'Karen',
     'Addison', 'Joseph','Jack', 'Jack', 'Eric', 'Ilona', 'Jason']
the_item = input('Enter the item that you wish to find : ')
how_many_times = 0 
for occurrence in x:
     if occurrence == the_item : 
          how_many_times += 1
print('The occurrence of', the_item, 'in', x,'is',how_many_times) 

创建了一个名字列表,其中重复了“Jack”这个名字。为了检查它的发生情况,我在名为x的列表中运行了一个for循环。每次迭代时,如果循环变量的值与从用户接收的值相同,并存储在变量the_item中,那么变量how_many_times将递增1。在获得某种价值之后。。。我们打印how_many_times,它存储单词“jack”出现的值

可能不是最有效的,需要额外的传递才能删除重复项。

功能实现:

arr = np.array(['a','a','b','b','b','c'])
print(set(map(lambda x  : (x , list(arr).count(x)) , arr)))

返回:

{('c', 1), ('b', 3), ('a', 2)}

或返回为dict:

print(dict(map(lambda x  : (x , list(arr).count(x)) , arr)))

返回:

{'b': 3, 'c': 1, 'a': 2}
