Python | Get the number of keys with given value N in dictionary

In this article, we will see how to get the number of keys with some given value N in a given dictionary. There are multiple methods to do this task. Let’s see them with help of examples.

Simple method –

# Python3 code to Get the number of keys 
# with given value N in dictionary 
  
# Initialize dictionary  
test_dict = {'gfg' : 1, 'is' : 2, 'best' : 3, 'for' : 2, 'CS' : 2}  
  
  
# printing original dictionary  
print("The original dictionary : " + str(test_dict))  
  
# Initialize value  
N = 2
  
# Using loop  
# Selective key values in dictionary  
res = 0
for key in test_dict:  
    if test_dict[key] == N:  
        res = res + 1
      
# printing result  
print("Frequency of N is : " + str(res))  

Output:

The original dictionary : {'CS': 2, 'for': 2, 'is': 2, 'gfg': 1, 'best': 3}
Frequency of N is : 3

Method #2: Using sum() + values()

# Python3 code to Get the number of keys 
# with given value N in dictionary 
# Using sum() + values()  
  
# Initialize dictionary  
test_dict = {'gfg' : 1, 'is' : 2, 'best' : 3, 'for' : 2, 'CS' : 2}  
  
# printing original dictionary  
print("The original dictionary : " + str(test_dict))  
  
# Initialize value  
N = 2
  
# Using sum() + values()  
# Selective key values in dictionary 
res = sum(x == N for x in test_dict.values())  
      
# printing result  
print("Frequency of K is : " + str(res))  

Output:

The original dictionary : {'is': 2, 'for': 2, 'gfg': 1, 'best': 3, 'CS': 2}
Frequency of K is : 3
