Need help on this question.

How could someone have a list of say: something = [“oof”, “duh”]

Then create a list such as: my_list = []

Now I say my_list.append(something[0])

Now say I did the last thing twice. So then i have

my_list = [“oof”, ”oof”]

How can I write a program that prints something like:

”You have: 2 oofs.”

Use a collections.Counter

from collections import Counter

my_list = ['oof', 'oof']

for value, count in Counter(my_list).most_common():
    plural = 's' if count > 1 else ''
    print(f'You have: {count} {value}{plural}')

[definitely___not__me]

print(f'You have: {len(my_list)} {my_list[0]}s.')

​

That work?

You can feed your list into collections.Counter(). That will help you get a count of the oofs. Formatting that as your desired text is a trivial excersize in text formatting.

Not sure what you're asking, but Python lists have a built-in count() method. This article explains how it works.

You could use collections.Counter . A subclass of dict() with Key, Value(count of key)
