Python Program to Count the Number of Occurrences of an Element in the Linked List without using Recursion
When it is required to count the number of occurrences of a specific element in a linked list without using recursion, a method to add elements to the linked list, a method to display the elements of the linked list, and a method to count the occurrences of a value are defined.
Below is a demonstration for the same −
Example
class Node:
def __init__(self, data):
self.data = data
self.next = None
class my_linked_list:
def __init__(self):
self.head = None
self.last_node = None
def add_value(self, my_data):
if self.last_node is None:
self.head = Node(my_data)
self.last_node = self.head
else:
self.last_node.next = Node(my_data)
self.last_node = self.last_node.next
def print_it(self):
curr = self.head
while curr:
print(curr.data)
curr = curr.next
def count_val(self, key):
curr = self.head
my_count = 0
while curr:
if curr.data == key:
my_count = my_count + 1
curr = curr.next
return my_count
my_instance = my_linked_list()
my_list = [56, 43, 70, 67, 89, 91, 70, 23, 46, 70]
for elem in my_list:
my_instance.add_value(elem)
print("The linked list contains the below elements:")
my_instance.print_it()
key_val = int(input('Enter the data item: '))
count_val = my_instance.count_val(key_val)
print('{0} occurs {1} time(s) in the list.'.format(key_val, count_val))
Output
The linked list contains the below elements: 56 43 70 67 89 91 70 23 46 70 Enter the data item: 70 70 occurs 3 time(s) in the list.
Explanation
The ‘Node’ class is created.
Another ‘my_linked_list’ class with required attributes is created.
It has an ‘init’ function that is used to initialize the first element, i.e the ‘head’ to ‘None’ and last node to ‘None’.
Another method named ‘add_value’ is defined, that is used to add data to the linked list.
Another method named ‘print_it’ is defined, that iterates over the list, and prints the elements.
Another method named ‘count_val’ is defined that is used to find the frequency of occurrence of a specific element in the linked list.
An object of the ‘my_linked_list’ class is created.
The count_val method is called, to find the frequency of a specific element.
This output is displayed on the console.
