Count How Many Times A Part Of A Key Appears In A Dictionary Python

I have the following dictionary and i want to count how many times keys appear, dictionary is very big. a = { (1,2):3, (1,3):5, (2,1):6 } and I want this result 1: 3 times 2: 2 ti

Solution 1:

Use itertools.chain and a collections.Counter:

collections.Counter(itertools.chain(*a.keys()))

Alternatively:

collections.Counter(itertools.chain.from_iterable(a.keys()))

Solution 2:

>>>from collections import Counter>>>a = { (1,2):3, (1,3):5, (2,1):6 }>>>>>>Counter(j for k in a for j in k)
Counter({1: 3, 2: 2, 3: 1})

Solution 3:

Use itertools and collections.defaultdict

In [43]: a={(1,2):3,(1,3):5,(2,1):6}

In [44]: counts = collections.defaultdict(int)

In [45]: for k in itertools.chain.from_iterable(a.keys()):
   ....:     counts[k] += 1
   ....:     

In [46]: for k in counts:
    print k, ": %d times" %counts[k]
   ....:     
1 : 3 times
2 : 2 times
3 : 1 times

Solution 4:

First, this is not a code-writing service. Try writing some first, and then asking a question about it.

Second, as a freebie, in Python:

import collections
s = collections.defaultdict(int)
for j, k in a.keys():
   s[j] += 1
   s[k] += 1for x in s.keys():
   print x + ": " + s[x] + " times"

Solution 5:

from collections import Counter
items = Counter(val[2] forvalin dic.values())

Hope that sorts it.
