Amount of specific element in list

Question

I am beginner and have a question; is there a faster way to get amount of specific element in list?

a = [False, True, False, True, True]
e = []
for i in range(0, len(a)):
    if a[i] == True:
        e.append(a[i])
print(len(e))

Does this answer your question? [How can I count the occurrences of a list item?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2600191/how-can-i-count-the-occurrences-of-a-list-item) — AMC, Dec 23 '19 at 21:52
