I think that's what your code was supposed to look like.
Am I right?
If so you have all the code inside a class definition.
But you do nothing with the class and it certainly doesn't
define a dictionary. Its not clear what the class line is for.
That aside, This implies the data format has 4 columns
and you are throwing away the first two and using
the third as a key to find the fourth.
Is that correct? It's certainly not what your introductory
paragraph said.
But I don't understand what you think the Counter is doing?
You are counting how many there are of each key, but a dict
can only have unique keys so it must always be 1.
Then you iterate over the Counter and none of that makes
any sense. I can't even think what you are trying to do.
Can you confirm the code layout - ideally by posting a plain
text version. And explain how you think it is supposed to
work.
Also please show us a sample (3-10 lines) of input data
and what exactly you expect the output to be.
Thanks,
