python如何计算个数_Python中的条件计数

not sure this was asked before, but I couldn't find an obvious answer. I'm trying to count the number of elements in a list that are equal to a certain value. The problem is that these elements are not of a built-in type. So if I have

class A:

def __init__(self, a, b):

self.a = a

self.b = b

stuff = []

for i in range(1,10):

stuff.append(A(i/2, i%2))

Now I would like a count of the list elements whose field b = 1. I came up with two solutions:

print [e.b for e in stuff].count(1)

and

print len([e for e in stuff if e.b == 1])

Which is the best method? Is there a better alternative? It seems that the count() method does not accept keys (at least in Python version 2.5.1.

Many thanks!

解决方案sum(x.b == 1 for x in L)

A boolean (as resulting from comparisons such as x.b == 1) is also an int, with a value of 0 for False, 1 for True, so arithmetic such as summation works just fine.

This is the simplest code, but perhaps not the speediest (only timeit can tell you for sure;-). Consider (simplified case to fit well on command lines, but equivalent):

$ py26 -mtimeit -s'L=[1,2,1,3,1]*100' 'len([x for x in L if x==1])'

10000 loops, best of 3: 56.6 usec per loop

$ py26 -mtimeit -s'L=[1,2,1,3,1]*100' 'sum(x==1 for x in L)'

10000 loops, best of 3: 87.7 usec per loop

So, for this case, the "memory wasteful" approach of generating an extra temporary list and checking its length is actually solidly faster than the simpler, shorter, memory-thrifty one I tend to prefer. Other mixes of list values, Python implementations, availability of memory to "invest" in this speedup, etc, can affect the exact performance, of course.
