Python program to count occurrences of an element in a tuple

We will see how to count occurrences of an element in a Tuple. A tuple is a sequence of immutable Python objects.

Let?s say we have the following input, with the occurrences of 20 to be checked ?

myTuple = (10, 20, 30, 40, 20, 20, 70, 80)

The output should be ?

Number of Occurrences of 20 = 3<b>
</b>

Count occurrence of an element in a Tuple using for loop

In this example, we will count the occurrences of an element in a Tuple ?

Example

<div class="execute"></div><div class="code-mirror  language-python" contenteditable="plaintext-only" spellcheck="false" style="outline: none; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow-y: auto; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="token keyword">def</span> <span class="token function">countFunc</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span>myTuple<span class="token punctuation">,</span> a<span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">:</span>
