python count()

The `count()` method in Python is used to count the number of occurrences of a specified element in a list or a string.

Syntax:

list.count(element)
string.count(str)

Example:

# Using count() on a list
fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'apple']
count_apple = fruits.count('apple')
print(count_apple)  # Output: 2

# Using count() on a string
text = "Hello, World!"
count_l = text.count('l')
print(count_l)  # Output: 3
