统计列表中一项的出现次数

为了只计算一个列表项的出现次数，可以使用count（）

>>> l = ["a","b","b"]
>>> l.count("a")
1
>>> l.count("b")
2

计算列表中所有项目的出现次数也称为“清点”列表，或创建清点计数器。

使用count（）计算所有项目

要计算l中项目的出现次数，只需使用列表理解和count（）方法

[[x,l.count(x)] for x in set(l)]

（或类似于集合（l）中x的字典字典（（x，l.count（x））））

例子：

>>> l = ["a","b","b"]
>>> [[x,l.count(x)] for x in set(l)]
[['a', 1], ['b', 2]]
>>> dict((x,l.count(x)) for x in set(l))
{'a': 1, 'b': 2}

使用Counter（）计数所有项目

或者，集合库中有更快的Counter类

Counter(l)

例子：

>>> l = ["a","b","b"]
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> Counter(l)
Counter({'b': 2, 'a': 1})

计数器快多少？

我查了一下柜台清点清单的速度有多快。我尝试了两种方法，使用了几个n值，计数器的速度似乎快了大约2倍。

以下是我使用的脚本：

from __future__ import print_function
import timeit

t1=timeit.Timer('Counter(l)', \
                'import random;import string;from collections import Counter;n=1000;l=[random.choice(string.ascii_letters) for x in range(n)]'
                )

t2=timeit.Timer('[[x,l.count(x)] for x in set(l)]',
                'import random;import string;n=1000;l=[random.choice(string.ascii_letters) for x in range(n)]'
                )

print("Counter(): ", t1.repeat(repeat=3,number=10000))
print("count():   ", t2.repeat(repeat=3,number=10000)

输出：

Counter():  [0.46062711701961234, 0.4022796869976446, 0.3974247490405105]
count():    [7.779430688009597, 7.962715800967999, 8.420845870045014]

要计算具有共同类型的不同元素的数量，请执行以下操作：

li = ['A0','c5','A8','A2','A5','c2','A3','A9']

print sum(1 for el in li if el[0]=='A' and el[1] in '01234')

给予

3，而不是6

我今天遇到了这个问题，在我想检查SO之前，我推出了自己的解决方案

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

对于大列表来说真的很慢。我的解决方案

def occurDict(items):
    d = {}
    for i in items:
        if i in d:
            d[i] = d[i]+1
        else:
            d[i] = 1
return d

实际上比Counter解决方案快一点，至少对于Python 2.7来说是这样。

为什么不使用Pandas？

import pandas as pd

my_list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'a', 'd', 'a']

# converting the list to a Series and counting the values
my_count = pd.Series(my_list).value_counts()
my_count

输出：

a    3
d    2
b    1
c    1
dtype: int64

如果您正在查找特定元素的计数，例如a，请尝试：

my_count['a']

输出：

3

以下是三种解决方案：

Fastest是使用for循环并将其存储在Dict中。

import time
from collections import Counter


def countElement(a):
    g = {}
    for i in a:
        if i in g: 
            g[i] +=1
        else: 
            g[i] =1
    return g


z = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5,234,23,3,12,3,123,12,31,23,13,2,4,23,42,42,34,234,23,42,34,23,423,42,34,23,423,4,234,23,42,34,23,4,23,423,4,23,4]


#Solution 1 - Faster
st = time.monotonic()
for i in range(1000000):
    b = countElement(z)
et = time.monotonic()
print(b)
print('Simple for loop and storing it in dict - Duration: {}'.format(et - st))

#Solution 2 - Fast
st = time.monotonic()
for i in range(1000000):
    a = Counter(z)
et = time.monotonic()
print (a)
print('Using collections.Counter - Duration: {}'.format(et - st))

#Solution 3 - Slow
st = time.monotonic()
for i in range(1000000):
    g = dict([(i, z.count(i)) for i in set(z)])
et = time.monotonic()
print(g)
print('Using list comprehension - Duration: {}'.format(et - st))

test = [409.1, 479.0, 340.0, 282.4, 406.0, 300.0, 374.0, 253.3, 195.1, 269.0, 329.3, 250.7, 250.7, 345.3, 379.3, 275.0, 215.2, 300.0]

#turning the list into a temporary dataframe
test  = pd.DataFrame(test)

#using the very convenient value_counts() function
df_counts = test.value_counts()
df_counts

然后可以使用dfcounts.index和dfcounts.value来获取数据。
