# vowels tuple
vowels = ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'i', 'u')

# count element 'i'
count = vowels.count('i')

# print count
print('The count of i is:', count)

Output

The count of i is: 2
The count of p is: 0

4. Example 2: Count List and Tuple Elements Inside Tuple

# random tuple
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
