If you have a list in Python 🐍 and you need to find for example the 3 elements that are the must present in the list.
You can do it like this :
Create a list
mylist = [1,2,3,4,4,4,4,5,5,6,7,8,8,8,9] Create two variables, maxcount is the number N of elements that we are searching.
count = 1 maxcount = 3 Use a while loop to find what we are looking for :
while count <= maxcount: num = max(set(mylist), key=mylist.count) print(num) count+=1 while num in mylist: mylist.remove(num) #Here we remove the element that was the max Now the full code:
mylist = [1,2,3,4,4,4,4,5,5,6,7,8,8,8,9] count = 1 maxcount = 3 while count <= maxcount: num = max(set(mylist), key=mylist.count) print(num) count+=1 while num in mylist: mylist.remove(num) Now the result is :
4 8 5 You can even add them to a new list...
