Question

PYTHON define a function called fav_colours(): which receives a list of strings of lowercasecolours:

the list some words will repeat, one colour or many, long list or short, Will always be lowercase

- return a list of lists containing unique colours and integer numbers describing the amount of times those colours repeated

As an example, the following code fragment:

colours = ['blue', 'red', 'red', 'red', 'green'] colours , numbers = fav_colours(colours) print(colours) print(numbers)

should produce the output:

['blue', 'red', 'green'] [1, 3, 1]

Answer 1

def fav_colours(colors):
    unique_words = []
    counts = []
    for color in colors:
        if color not in unique_words:
            unique_words.append(color)
    for color in unique_words:
        count = 0
        for c in colors:
            if c == color:
                count += 1
        counts.append(count)
    return [unique_words, counts]


colours = ['blue', 'red', 'red', 'red', 'green']
colours, numbers = fav_colours(colours)
print(colours)
print(numbers)
