Quick Reference

The Python tuple count() method returns the number of times a specified value appears in the tuple.

The following will look for the value “Maserati” in all of the items in the list.

  • The entire value must be equal to an entire item (Maserati will find Maserati, not Maseratis nor Maserati Car)
  • The value is case sensitive (Maserati will find Maserati, not maserati)
cars = ("Maserati", "Maserati Car", "maserati", "maseratis")

x = cars.count("Maserati")
print(x)

Output

1

Syntax

tuple.count(value)

Python Notes:

  • The most recent major version of Python is Python 3; however, Python 2 is still in use and quite popular, although not being updated with anything other than security updates
  • Python uses new lines to complete a command, as opposed to other programming languages which often use semicolons or parentheses
  • Python relies on indentation, using whitespace to define scope, such as the scope of loops, functions, and classes; other programming languages often use curly-brackets for this purpose
  • Python string methods return new values, and DO NOT change the original string
