How to count the occurrence of certain item in an ndarray?

Question

In Python, I have an ndarray y that is printed as array([0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1])

I'm trying to count how many 0s and how many 1s are there in this array.

But when I type y.count(0) or y.count(1), it says

numpy.ndarray object has no attribute count

What should I do?

Answer 1

a = numpy.array([0, 3, 0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 3, 4])
unique, counts = numpy.unique(a, return_counts=True)
dict(zip(unique, counts))

# {0: 7, 1: 4, 2: 1, 3: 2, 4: 1}

Non-numpy way:

Use collections.Counter;

import collections, numpy
a = numpy.array([0, 3, 0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 3, 4])
collections.Counter(a)

# Counter({0: 7, 1: 4, 3: 2, 2: 1, 4: 1})
