Python .count()

The .count() method returns the number of occurrences of a specific value in a tuple.

Syntax

tuple_instance.count(value)

The value parameter is required. If the value does not exist in the tuple_instance, 0 is returned. The .count() method is type-sensitive (e.g., string representations of numbers and actual numbers are not counted in the returned total).

Example

The following example showcases the .count() method:

my_tuple = (2, 4, "6", "2", 8, "8", "2")

print(my_tuple.count(2))
# Output: 1

Since the .count() method is type-sensitive, the snippet above returned 1 (for one occurrence of the number 2, excluding the string representation of "2").

In the following example, the .count() method returns 0 because the value being counted doesn’t exist in my_tuple:
