使用字典计算字符串中的第一个字母 - Python

我一直在用Python进行字典练习,而且我对语言和编程本身也很陌生。我一直在尝试取一个字符串或字符串列表,让我的代码比较字符串的第一个字母,并用字母表中的某个字母开出多少个字符串。这就是我到目前为止所做的:

  d = {}
text=["time","after","time"]
# count occurances of character
for w in text:

    d[w] = text.count(w)
# print the result
for k in sorted(d):
    print (k + ': ' + str(d[k]))

我的目标是,例如得到以下结果:

count_starts(["time","after","time"]) -->{'t':  2,  'a':    1}

但是,我得到的更像是以下内容:

count_starts(["time","after","time"]) --> {time:2, after:1}

凭借我所拥有的,我已经能够计算出一个完整的唯一字符串出现的次数,而不是计算字符串中的第一个字母。

我也尝试了以下内容:

d = {}
text=["time","after","time"]
# count occurances of character
for w in text:
    for l in w[:1]:
        d[l] = text.count(l)
# print the result
for k in sorted(d):
    print (k + ': ' + str(d[k]))

但是打印输出中的所有内容都是:

{"a":0,"t":0}

我正在使用Python Visualizer进行测试。

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:6)

计算文本中每个项目的第一个字母的出现次数:

from collections import Counter

text = ["time", "after", "time"]

>>> Counter(t[0] for t in text)
Counter({'a': 1, 't': 2})

或只是获取字典键/值对:

>>> dict(Counter(t[0] for t in text))
{'a': 1, 't': 2}

答案 1 :(得分:2)

d = {}

text = ['time', 'after', 'time']

for w in text:
    if w:                         # If we have the empty string. w[0] Does not Exist (DNE)
        if w[0] in d:             # Check to see if we have first character in dictionary.
            d[w[0]] = d[w[0]] + 1 # Use the first character as key to dictionary.
        else:                     # If character has not been found start counting.
            d[w[0]] = 1           # Use the first character as key to dictionary.

使用Python的IDLE我得到:

>>> d = {}
>>> text = ['time', 'after', 'time']
>>> for w in text:
    if w:
        if w[0] in d:
            d[w[0]] = d[w[0]] + 1
        else:
            d[w[0]] = 1

>>> print d
{'a': 1, 't': 2}
>>>
