要计算具有共同类型的不同元素的数量，请执行以下操作：

li = ['A0','c5','A8','A2','A5','c2','A3','A9']

print sum(1 for el in li if el[0]=='A' and el[1] in '01234')

给予

3，而不是6

统计列表中一项的出现次数

为了只计算一个列表项的出现次数，可以使用count（）

>>> l = ["a","b","b"]
>>> l.count("a")
1
>>> l.count("b")
2

计算列表中所有项目的出现次数也称为“清点”列表，或创建清点计数器。

使用count（）计算所有项目

要计算l中项目的出现次数，只需使用列表理解和count（）方法

[[x,l.count(x)] for x in set(l)]

（或类似于集合（l）中x的字典字典（（x，l.count（x））））

例子：

>>> l = ["a","b","b"]
>>> [[x,l.count(x)] for x in set(l)]
[['a', 1], ['b', 2]]
>>> dict((x,l.count(x)) for x in set(l))
{'a': 1, 'b': 2}

使用Counter（）计数所有项目

或者，集合库中有更快的Counter类

Counter(l)

例子：

>>> l = ["a","b","b"]
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> Counter(l)
Counter({'b': 2, 'a': 1})

计数器快多少？

我查了一下柜台清点清单的速度有多快。我尝试了两种方法，使用了几个n值，计数器的速度似乎快了大约2倍。

以下是我使用的脚本：

from __future__ import print_function
import timeit

t1=timeit.Timer('Counter(l)', \
                'import random;import string;from collections import Counter;n=1000;l=[random.choice(string.ascii_letters) for x in range(n)]'
                )

t2=timeit.Timer('[[x,l.count(x)] for x in set(l)]',
                'import random;import string;n=1000;l=[random.choice(string.ascii_letters) for x in range(n)]'
                )

print("Counter(): ", t1.repeat(repeat=3,number=10000))
print("count():   ", t2.repeat(repeat=3,number=10000)

输出：

Counter():  [0.46062711701961234, 0.4022796869976446, 0.3974247490405105]
count():    [7.779430688009597, 7.962715800967999, 8.420845870045014]

为什么不使用Pandas？

import pandas as pd

my_list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'a', 'd', 'a']

# converting the list to a Series and counting the values
my_count = pd.Series(my_list).value_counts()
my_count

输出：

a    3
d    2
b    1
c    1
dtype: int64

如果您正在查找特定元素的计数，例如a，请尝试：

my_count['a']

输出：

3

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])

如果您使用的是Python 2.7或3.x，并且希望每个元素的出现次数，请使用Counter：

>>> from collections import Counter
>>> z = ['blue', 'red', 'blue', 'yellow', 'blue', 'red']
>>> Counter(z)
Counter({'blue': 3, 'red': 2, 'yellow': 1})
