Python count of items in a dictionary of lists

Question

I have a dictionary of lists for which I want to add a value to a particular list... I have the following dictionary of lists.

d = {\'a\': [4,\'Adam\', 2], \         


        

Answer 1

d = {'key': 'value'}
temp_dict = {}
for key, values in d.items():
    if values[1] in temp_dict:
        temp_dict[values[1]] = temp_dict[values[1]] + 1
    else:
        temp_dict[values[1]] = 1

This code is longer than the previous answer, but it's just another way to produce the same results. Anyway, temp_dict will store the names as keys and values as the number of times it shows up.
