Another way to do that is to avoid any intermediate variables altogether
That may be easier to understand YMMV
def counter(mylist, val):
if len(mylist == 0):
return 0
if mylist[0] == val:
return 1 + counter(mylist[1:], val)
else:
return counter(mylist[1:])
The intermediate variable explanation by Dave actually clinched it for
me. Actually, the one I wrote is suspiciously similar to yours ;-).
Anyway, thanks Asokan!
