Python - Count elements in list

You can use the len() function to count the number of elements in a list. Here's an example:

Count the number of elements in a list in Python

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
count = len(my_list)
print(count)

This will output 5, which is the number of elements in the list.

You could also use collections.Counter() for counting the items in list

Counting using Counter method in Python

from collections import Counter
my_list = [1,2,3,4,5,5,5,5,5,5]
count = Counter(my_list)
print(count)

this will output Counter({5: 5, 1: 1, 2: 1, 3: 1, 4: 1}) which contains all unique elements and count of their occurence in the list.
