first question here, so i will get right to it:
using python 2.7
I have a dictionary of items, the keys are an x,y coordinate represented as a tuple: (x,y) and all the values are Boolean values.
I am trying to figure out a quick and clean method of getting a count of how many items have a given value. I do NOT need to know which keys have the given value, just how many.
there is a similar post here: How many items in a dictionary share the same value in Python, however I do not need a dictionary returned, just an integer.
My first thought is to iterate over the items and test each one while keeping a count of each True value or something. I am just wondering, since I am still new to python and don't know all the libraries, if there is a better/faster/simpler way to do this.
thanks in advance.
