Is count and counter are same?

Answer 1

A "Counter" is a container from python module collections, that keeps track of how many times equivalent values are added.

Sample code:

import collections

cnt = collections.Counter()
cnt.update('abcdaab') # adding a string
cnt.update({'a':1, 'd':5}) # adding a dict
print('Counter :', cnt)

#result: Counter({'d': 6, 'a': 4, 'b': 2, 'c': 1})

Answer 2

It will be better give a sample, Where about you taking in the code..!

In python, List has a predefined count function, but I think there is no predefined function like counter in python.. It is user defined as far i know.... It may be from other modules...

Edit: ex:
L=[1,2,1,1,3 ]
print(L.count(1)) #prints 3, =>1's count in list...
