Counting Elements in a Tuple: Using the count() Method

The count() method in Python allows you to count the number of occurrences of a specific element in a tuple. This is particularly useful when you want to analyze repeated data within a tuple.

The method returns an integer representing the number of times the element appears in the tuple.


              
1234567

            
# Tuple of movie genres
movie_genres = ("Action", "Drama", "Action", "Comedy", "Drama", "Action")

# Counting occurrences of "Action"
action_count = movie_genres.count("Action")

print(f"'Action' appears {action_count} times in the tuple.")
copy

The count() method checks how many times "Action" appears in the movie_genres tuple.

Task

Swipe to start coding

You are given a tuple with the names of famous directors in the film industry, called directors.
You may notice that the director wSteven Spielberg appears multiple times, and you need to find out how many times.

Your goal:

  • Assign the number of occurrences of the name "Steven Spielberg" in the tuple to the variable director_count.
  • Use the count() method to do this.
