Last update on December 21 2024 07:31:00 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Python program to count the frequency of the elements of a given unordered list.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

from itertools import groupby

uno_list = [2,1,3,8,5,1,4,2,3,4,0,8,2,0,8,4,2,3,4,2]
print("Original list:")
print(uno_list)
uno_list.sort()
print(uno_list)
print("\nSort the said unordered list:")
print(uno_list)
print("\nFrequency of the elements of the said unordered list:")
result = [len(list(group)) for key, group in groupby(uno_list)]
print(result)

Sample Output:

Original list:
[2, 1, 3, 8, 5, 1, 4, 2, 3, 4, 0, 8, 2, 0, 8, 4, 2, 3, 4, 2]
[0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 8, 8, 8]

Sort the said unordered list:
[0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 8, 8, 8]

Frequency of the elements of the said unordered list:
[2, 2, 5, 3, 4, 1, 3]
