How do I get how many time one item is repeated from a list in python?

Question

For example, i have a list the outputs should look like

3

4

bob= [ 1,2,2,3,3,3,1,2,3,4,5,6]

print(random_method(bob, 2))
print(random_method(bob, 3))

Do you want to pick a random item from the list? What does `2` mean in `random_method(bob, 2)` — Sean Breckenridge, Feb 21 '18 at 05:54
2 is the number that you are looking for how many times it is been repeated in the list — Johnpaul Kizhakkedan, Feb 21 '18 at 06:00
