[Tutor] Counting Items in a List

[Brad Hudson]

I think this is more of what you ar looking for:

>>> a = 'this is a list with is repeated twice.'
>>> a
'this is a list with is repeated twice.'
>>> alist = a.strip().split()
>>> alist
['this', 'is', 'a', 'list', 'with', 'is', 'repeated', 'twice.']
>>> var='is'
>>> alist.count(var)
2
>>>
