Python3.x Python: Count Occurrences of an Element in a List

Document Object Reference Python3 Examples

Define a list and count the number of times a specific element appears in the list.

For example:

Input: lst = [15, 6, 7, 10, 12, 20, 10, 28, 10] x = 10
Output: 3

Example 1

def countX(lst, x): 

    count =0

    for ele in lst: 

        if(ele == x): 

            count = count + 1

    return count 

lst =[8,6,8,10,8,20,10,8,8]

x =8

print(countX(lst, x))

The output of the above example is:

Example 2: Using the count() Method

def countX(lst, x): 

    return lst.count(x)

lst =[8,6,8,10,8,20,10,8,8]

x =8

print(countX(lst, x))
