In this tutorial, we will learn about python list index and count method.
Python List Index

index method :

List index method is used to get the index of first occurrence of item ( passed as an argument ) in a list object. Here start is a start index and end is a end index, if values of start and end are passed as an argument then first occurrence of item is searched between these two indexes.

Syntax : < List Object >.index( < item > [ , start [ ,  end ] ] ) : < int >

Example:

# Python List index example # create list object and assign it to variable l l = ['a','b','c','d','e','b','c'] # calling index() method by passing 'b' as an argument index = l.index('b') # print the value of variable index print(index) # calling index() method by passing 'b' and starting index 2 index = l.index('b',2) # print the value of variable index print(index) # calling index() method by passing 'b', 0 as starting index and 2 as ending index index = l.index('b',0,2) # print the value of variable index print(index)

count method :

This method is used to count total number of occurrence of item ( passed as an argument ) in a list object.

Syntax : < List Object >.count( < item > ) : < int >

Example:

# Python List count example # create tuple object and assign it to variable l l = ['a','b','c','d','e','a'] # calling count() method by passing 'a' as an argument count = l.count('a') # print the value of variable count print(count)
