另一种获取字典中每个项目出现次数的方法：

dict((i, a.count(i)) for i in a)

如果您想一次计算所有值，可以使用numpy数组和bincount非常快速地完成，如下所示

import numpy as np
a = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 4, 1])
np.bincount(a)

这给出了

>>> array([0, 3, 1, 1, 2])

def countfrequncyinarray(arr1):
    r=len(arr1)
    return {i:arr1.count(i) for i in range(1,r+1)}
arr1=[4,4,4,4]
a=countfrequncyinarray(arr1)
print(a)

x = ['Jess', 'Jack', 'Mary', 'Sophia', 'Karen',
     'Addison', 'Joseph','Jack', 'Jack', 'Eric', 'Ilona', 'Jason']
the_item = input('Enter the item that you wish to find : ')
how_many_times = 0 
for occurrence in x:
     if occurrence == the_item : 
          how_many_times += 1
print('The occurrence of', the_item, 'in', x,'is',how_many_times) 

创建了一个名字列表，其中重复了“Jack”这个名字。为了检查它的发生情况，我在名为x的列表中运行了一个for循环。每次迭代时，如果循环变量的值与从用户接收的值相同，并存储在变量the_item中，那么变量how_many_times将递增1。在获得某种价值之后。。。我们打印how_many_times，它存储单词“jack”出现的值

        self.assertEqual(exp_outp, list( count_sorted_list_items(inp) ))
        # ... [(2,2), (4,1), (2,1)]

或者，您也可以自己实现计数器。我是这样做的：

item_list = ['me', 'me', 'you', 'you', 'you', 'they']

occ_dict = {}

for item in item_list:
    if item not in occ_dict:
        occ_dict[item] = 1
    else:
        occ_dict[item] +=1

print(occ_dict)

输出：｛“我”：2，“你”：3，“他们”：1｝
