How to count the frequency of the elements in an unordered list?

Question

I need to find the frequency of elements in an unordered list

a = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5]

output->

b =         


        

Answer 1

This approach can be tried if you don't want to use any library and keep it simple and short!

a = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,5]
marked = []
b = [(a.count(i), marked.append(i))[0] for i in a if i not in marked]
print(b)

o/p

[4, 4, 2, 1, 2]
