get the count of elements of tuples of your own…not just the range or sequence

Question

The below code is running for first three elements of the tuple of this list

SS1=[(1, 2, 3, 4, 5), (1, 2, 3, 4, 6), (1, 2, 3, 5, 6), (1, 2, 4, 5, 6), (1, 3,         


        

Answer 1

If what i understood from your question is correct, the code below will solve your issue:

SS1=[(1, 2, 3, 4, 5), (1, 2, 3, 4, 6), (1, 2, 3, 5, 6), (1, 2, 4, 5, 6), (1, 3, 4, 5, 6), (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)]

from collections import Counter

def get_new_list(a, pos):
    # Check if any element in pos is > than the length of the tuples
    if any(k >= len(min(SS1, key=lambda x: len(x))) for k in pos):
        return

    for k in a:
        yield tuple(k[j] for j in pos)

def elm_counter(elm):
    if not len(elm):
        return 

    c = Counter(elm)
    for k, v in c.items():
        if v > 0:
            print(k, v)

elm = list(get_new_list(SS1, (0, 2, 4)))
elm_counter(elm)
print('---')
elm = list(get_new_list(SS1, (1, 2, 4)))
elm_counter(elm)

Output:

(1, 3, 5) 1
(1, 3, 6) 2
(1, 4, 6) 2
(2, 4, 6) 1
---
(2, 3, 6) 2
(2, 3, 5) 1
(3, 4, 6) 2
(2, 4, 6) 1
