+# Simplified Counting with get()
+
+# We can use get() and provide a default value of zero when the key is
+# not yet in the dictionary - and then just add one
+
+counts = dict()
+names = ['csev' , 'cwen' , 'csev' , 'zqian' , 'cwen']
+for name in names:
+ counts[name] = counts.get(name, 0) + 1
+print(counts)
+
+# Output: {'csev': 2, 'cwen': 2, 'zqian': 1}
