In any event, if a number is listed more than once, I would like to know how
many times, such as 2 or 3 times. For example, '3' is listed twice within a
list.
If you do not have top keep the order of the number this will work.
a = [1, 2, 3, 3, 4]
counted = {}
for n in a:
if not n in counted:
counted[n] = 1
else:
counted[n] += 1
counted
{1: 1, 2: 1, 3: 2, 4: 1}
for x, y in counted.items():
if y > 1:
print "Number %s was found %s times" % (x, y)
else:
print "Number %s was found %s time" % (x, y)
Number 1 was found 1 time
Number 2 was found 1 time
Number 3 was found 2 times
Number 4 was found 1 time
