Groups the elements of a list based on the given function and returns the count of elements in each group.
|
|
|
|
Use `map()` to map the values of the given list using the given function.
|
|
Iterate over the map and increase the element count each time it occurs.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def count_by(arr, fn=lambda x: x):
|
|
key = {}
|
|
for el in map(fn, arr):
|
|
key[el] = 0 if el not in key else key[el]
|
|
key[el] += 1
|
|
return key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
from math import floor
|
|
count_by([6.1, 4.2, 6.3], floor) # {4: 1, 6: 2}
|
|
count_by(['one', 'two', 'three'], len) # {3: 2, 5: 1}
