In this tutorial, we will learn about the Python List count() method with the help of examples.
The count()
method returns the number of times the specified element appears in the list.
Example
# create a list numbers = [2, 3, 5, 2, 11, 2, 7] # check the count of 2 count = numbers.count(2) print('Count of 2:', count) # Output: Count of 2: 3
1. Syntax of List count()
The syntax of the count()
method is:
list.count(element)
2. count() Parameters
The count()
method takes a single argument:
- element – the element to be counted
3. Return value from count()
The count()
method returns the number of times element appears in the list.
4. Example 1: Use of count()
# vowels list vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'i', 'u'] # count element 'i' count = vowels.count('i') # print count print('The count of i is:', count) # count element 'p' count = vowels.count('p') # print count print('The count of p is:', count)
Output
The count of i is: 2 The count of p is: 0
5. Example 2: Count Tuple and List Elements Inside List
# random list random = ['a', ('a', 'b'), ('a', 'b'), [3, 4]] # count element ('a', 'b') count = random.count(('a', 'b')) # print count print("The count of ('a', 'b') is:", count) # count element [3, 4] count = random.count([3, 4]) # print count print("The count of [3, 4] is:", count)
Output
The count of ('a', 'b') is: 2 The count of [3, 4] is: 1
