Python Lists - Finding Number of Times a String Occurs

Question

How would I find how many times each string appears in my list?

Say I have the word:

\"General Store\"

that is in my list like 20 t

Answer 1

If you're willing to use the pandas library, this one is really quick:

import pandas as pd 

my_list = lis=["General Store","General Store","General Store","Mall","Mall","Mall","Mall","Mall","Mall","Ice Cream Van"]
pd.Series(my_list).value_counts()
