Python Tuple count() Method (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 26 Apr, 2025

In this article, we will learn about the count() method used for tuples in Python. The count() method of a Tuple returns the number of times the given element appears in the tuple.

Example

Python3

tuple = ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 1 , 2 , 3 )

print ( tuple .count( 3 ))

Output :

Python Tuple count() Method Syntax

Syntax: tuple.count( ele )

Parameters:

ele: Any element whose occurrence we want to calculate.

Return: The number of times the elements appears in the tuple.

Tuple count() Method in Python Examples

Count Frequency of Element in a Tuple in Python

Here we are calculating the total occurrence of a particular element in the given tuple using the count method.

Python3

Tuple1 = ( 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 2 , 3 , 1 , 3 , 2 )

Tuple2 = ( 'python' , 'geek' , 'python' ,

`` 'for' , 'GFG' , 'python' , 'geeks' )

res = Tuple1.count( 3 )

print ( 'Count of 3 in Tuple1 is:' , res)

res = Tuple2.count( 'python' )

print ( 'Count of Python in Tuple2 is:' , res)

Output:

Count of 3 in Tuple1 is: 3 Count of Python in Tuple2 is: 3

Count List Elements Inside Tuple

Here we are calculating the total occurrence of a particular element, which in this case is a list and tuple inside a tuple using the count method.

Python3

Tuple = ( 0 , 1 , "GFG" , [ 3 , 2 ], 1 ,

`` [ 3 , 2 ], 'geeks' , ( 0 ), ( 'G' , 'F' ))

res = Tuple .count([ 3 , 2 ])

print ( 'Count of [3, 2] in Tuple is:' , res)

Output:

Count of [3, 2] in Tuple is: 2

Count Elements that do not exist in the Tuple

Here we are calculating the total occurrence of a particular element in the given tuple using the count method that actually does not exist in the tuple.

Python3

Tuple1 = ( 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 2 , 3 , 1 , 3 , 2 )

Tuple2 = ( 'python' , 'geek' , 'python' ,

`` 'for' , 'GFG' , 'python' , 'geeks' )

res = Tuple1.count( 5 )

print ( 'Count of 5 in Tuple1 is:' , res)

res = Tuple2.count( 'GeeksforGeeks' )

print ( 'Count of GeeksforGeeks in Tuple2 is:' , res)

Output:

Count of 5 in Tuple1 is: 0 Count of GeeksforGeeks in Tuple2 is: 0

Counting occurrences of Tuples in a Tuple

In this example, we are nesting tuples inside a tuple and we check how many times a tuple is inside a tuple is occurring.

Python3

my_tuple = (( 1 , 2 ), ( 'a' , 'b' ), ( 1 , 2 ), ( 'c' , 'd' ), ( 'a' , 'b' ))

count_tuple = my_tuple.count(( 1 , 2 ))

print (count_tuple)

count_xy = my_tuple.count(( 'x' , 'y' ))

print (count_xy)

Output :

2 0
