Hi everybody, I have a list that I want to go through and finally print a total count of particular items. In this case, I want to print the result of how many A's and B's are in the list.
honor_roll_count = 0 student_grades = ["A", "C", "B", "B", "C", "A", "F", "B", "B", "B", "C", "A"] for grades in student_grades: honor_roll_count = honor_roll_count + 1 if grades == "A" or grades == "B": print honor_roll_count The above code prints 8 lines, each being an entry for which item in the list was either A or B. Again, I'm looking for the result to be the number 8 itself - the total number of instances that A or B occurs in the list. I'm sure there are a handful of easy solutions for this, I just haven't hit the right combo yet and I thought I'd reach out to the tutor list for a bit of advice. Please and thank you! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
