Get count of tuples in list regardless of elements orders

Question

I have a list of tuples that looks something like this:

my_list = [(1,12),(12,1),(12,1),(20,15),(7,8),(15,20)]

I want to get a count of the num

Answer 1

You can try simple approach without importing anything like this:

my_list = [(1,12),(12,1),(12,1),(20,15),(7,8),(15,20)]

count={}
for i in my_list:
    if tuple(sorted(i)) not in count:
        count[tuple(sorted(i))]=1
    else:
        count[tuple(sorted(i))]+=1

print(count)

output:

{(15, 20): 2, (7, 8): 1, (1, 12): 3}
