Count Occurrences of an Element in a Tuple in Python

We will see how to count occurrences of an element in a Tuple. A tuple is a sequence of immutable Python objects.

Let's say we have the following input, with the occurrences of 20 to be checked ?

myTuple = (10, 20, 30, 40, 20, 20, 70, 80)

The output should be ?

Number of Occurrences of 20 = 3

Count occurrence of an element in a Tuple using for loop

In this example, we will count the occurrences of an element in a Tuple ?

Example

def countFunc(myTuple, a):
	count = 0
	for ele in myTuple:
	    if (ele == a):
		    count = count + 1
	return count

# Create a Tuple
myTuple = (10, 20, 30, 40, 20, 20, 70, 80)

# Display the Tuple
print("Tuple = ",myTuple)

# The element whose occurrence is to be checked
k = 20
print("Number of Occurrences of ",k," = ",countFunc(myTuple, k))

Output

Tuple = (10, 20, 30, 40, 20, 20, 70, 80)
Number of Occurrences of 20 = 3

Count occurrence of an element in a Tuple using the count() method

In this example, we will count the occurrences of an element in a Tuple ?

Example

def countFunc(myTuple, a):
	return myTuple.count(a)

# Create a Tuple
myTuple = (10, 20, 30, 70, 20, 20, 70, 80)

# Display the Tuple
print("Tuple = ",myTuple)

# The element whose occurrence is to be checked
k = 70
print("Number of Occurrences of ",k," = ",countFunc(myTuple, k))

Output

Tuple = (10, 20, 30, 70, 20, 20, 70, 80)
Number of Occurrences of 70 = 2
