Python: Find the most common elements and their counts of a specified text
2. Find Most Common Elements and Counts in a Text
Write a Python program to find the most common elements and their counts in a specified text.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
# Import the Counter class from the collections module
from collections import Counter
# Create a string 's' containing a sequence of characters
s = 'lkseropewdssafsdfafkpwe'
# Print the original string
print("Original string: " + s)
# Print a message indicating that we are going to find the most common three characters in the string
print("Most common three characters of the said string:")
# Use Counter to count the occurrences of each character in the string 's' and then find the three most common characters
print(Counter(s).most_common(3))
Sample Output:
Original string: lkseropewdssafsdfafkpwe
Most common three characters of the said string:
[('s', 4), ('e', 3), ('f', 3)]
