count() – return the number of existing list entries (count)

  1. The first line of the code creates a list named myList and assigns it the values [1, 3, 3, 3, 5, 5, 6].
  2. The print function is used to print the result of myList.count(3). The count method is used to count the number of occurrences of a specific element in a list. In this case, the code is counting the number of occurrences of the number 3 in myList, which is 3.
  3. The second print function is used to print the result of myList.count(5). In this case, the code is counting the number of occurrences of the number 5 in myList, which is 2.

So, the code creates a list, counts the number of occurrences of two specific elements in the list, and then prints the results.

myList = [1, 3, 3, 3, 5, 5, 6]

print(myList.count(3))
print(myList.count(5))
Output
3
2
