การนับความถี่และการจัดกลุ่ม

การนับความถี่: รูปแบบหลัก

from collections import Counter

words = ['apple', 'banana', 'apple', 'cherry', 'banana', 'apple']
freq  = Counter(words)
print(freq)                  # Counter({'apple':3,'banana':2,'cherry':1})
print(freq['apple'])         # 3
print(freq['grape'])         # 0 (not KeyError)
print(freq.most_common(2))   # [('apple',3),('banana',2)]

การคำนวณและการตัดกันของ Counter

from collections import Counter

A = Counter('abccdd')
B = Counter('ccdde')

print('Add:      ', dict(A + B))  # sum of counts
print('Subtract: ', dict(A - B))  # A - B, clipped at 0
print('Intersect:', dict(A & B))  # min of shared counts
print('Union:    ', dict(A | B))  # max counts

# Min steps to make s anagram of t (LeetCode 1347)
s, t = 'leetcode', 'practice'
diff = Counter(t) - Counter(s)
print('Chars to add:', sum(diff.values()))  # 5
