如何计算字符串中字符出现的次数?

如。“a”在“Mary had a little lamb”中出现了4次。


当前回答

不使用Counter(), count和regex获得所有字符计数的另一种方法

counts_dict = {}
for c in list(sentence):
  if c not in counts_dict:
    counts_dict[c] = 0
  counts_dict[c] += 1

for key, value in counts_dict.items():
    print(key, value)

最简单的方法是一行代码:

'Mary had a little lamb'.count("a")

但是如果你想用这个也可以:

sentence ='Mary had a little lamb'
   count=0;
    for letter in sentence :
        if letter=="a":
            count+=1
    print (count)

count绝对是计算字符串中字符出现次数的最简洁和有效的方法,但我尝试使用lambda来提出一个解决方案,类似这样:

sentence = 'Mary had a little lamb'
sum(map(lambda x : 1 if 'a' in x else 0, sentence))

这将导致:

4

另外,这样做还有一个好处,如果句子是包含上述相同字符的子字符串列表,那么由于使用了in,这也会给出正确的结果。看看吧:

sentence = ['M', 'ar', 'y', 'had', 'a', 'little', 'l', 'am', 'b']
sum(map(lambda x : 1 if 'a' in x else 0, sentence))

这也导致:

4

当然,这只会在检查单个字符的出现时起作用,例如在这种特殊情况下“a”。

spam = 'have a nice day'
var = 'd'


def count(spam, var):
    found = 0
    for key in spam:
        if key == var:
            found += 1
    return found
count(spam, var)
print 'count %s is: %s ' %(var, count(spam, var))

我是pandas库的粉丝,尤其是value_counts()方法。你可以用它来计算字符串中每个字符的出现次数:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> phrase = "I love the pandas library and its `value_counts()` method"
>>> pd.Series(list(phrase)).value_counts()
     8
a    5
e    4
t    4
o    3
n    3
s    3
d    3
l    3
u    2
i    2
r    2
v    2
`    2
h    2
p    1
b    1
I    1
m    1
(    1
y    1
_    1
)    1
c    1
dtype: int64

你可以使用.count():

>>> 'Mary had a little lamb'.count('a')
4
