Python | Operator.countOf

Operator.countOf() is used for counting the number of occurrences of b in a. It counts the number of occurrences of value.

Syntax : Operator.countOf(freq = a, value = b)
Parameters :
freq : It can be list or any other data type which store value
value : It is value for which we have to count the number of occurrences

Returns: Count of number of occurrences of value.

Example #1: Use Operator.countOf() to count the number of occurrences of given value in a list.

# Python program showing
# use of countOf() function
# in a list

from operator import *
arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 3, 3 ]
arr1 = [ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'b', 'd' ]

print("Number of occurrence of b in arr1 =", countOf(arr1, "b"))
print("Number of occurrence of e in arr1 =", countOf(arr1, "e"))
print("Number of occurrence of 3 in arr =", countOf(arr, 3))

Output:

Number of occurrence of b in arr1 = 2
Number of occurrence of e in arr1 = 0
Number of occurrence of 3 in arr = 3

Example #2: Use Operator.countOf() to count the number of occurrences of given value in a dictionary.

# Python program showing
# use of countOf() function
# in a dictionary

from operator import *

d = {"score": 3, "score1": 1, "score2": 3, "score3": 1, "score4": 3}

print("Number of occurrence of three in dict =",countOf(d.values(),3))
print("Number of occurrence of one in dict =",countOf(d.values(),1))
print("Number of occurrence of four in dict =",countOf(d.values(),4))

Output :

Number of occurrence of three in dict = 3
Number of occurrence of one in dict = 2
Number of occurrence of four in dict = 0

Example #3: Use Operator.countOf() to count the number of occurrences of given value in a tuples.

# Python program showing
# use of countOf() function
# in a tuples

from operator import *

tup = ( 1, 2, 3, 3, 3 )
tup1 = ( 'a', 'b', 'c', 'b', 'd' )

print("Number of occurrence of b in tuple1 =",countOf(tup1,"b"))
print("Number of occurrence of e in tuple1 =",countOf(tup1,"e"))
print("Number of occurrence of 3 in tuple =",countOf(tup,3))

Output :

Number of occurrence of b in tuple1 = 2
Number of occurrence of e in tuple1 = 0
Number of occurrence of 3 in tuple = 3
