Str.count (sub[， start[， end]]) 返回子字符串sub在范围[start, end]中不重叠出现的次数。可选参数start和end被解释为片表示法。

>>> sentence = 'Mary had a little lamb'
>>> sentence.count('a')
4

不使用Counter()， count和regex获得所有字符计数的另一种方法

counts_dict = {}
for c in list(sentence):
  if c not in counts_dict:
    counts_dict[c] = 0
  counts_dict[c] += 1

for key, value in counts_dict.items():
    print(key, value)

a = 'have a nice day'
symbol = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
for key in symbol:
    print(key, a.count(key))

正则表达式?

import re
my_string = "Mary had a little lamb"
len(re.findall("a", my_string))

spam = 'have a nice day'
var = 'd'


def count(spam, var):
    found = 0
    for key in spam:
        if key == var:
            found += 1
    return found
count(spam, var)
print 'count %s is: %s ' %(var, count(spam, var))

我是pandas库的粉丝，尤其是value_counts()方法。你可以用它来计算字符串中每个字符的出现次数:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> phrase = "I love the pandas library and its `value_counts()` method"
>>> pd.Series(list(phrase)).value_counts()

a    5
e    4
t    4
o    3
n    3
s    3
d    3
l    3
u    2
i    2
r    2
v    2

h    2
p    1
