I want to get the no. of same string in a list

Example

list = ['jack','jeen','jeen']
number_of_jeen = getnumber('jeen',list)
print(number_of_jeen)

Output

I have tried this so far

def getnumber(string_var,list):
      if any(string_var in s for s in list):
            print("This user exits !")

Use Counter from collections:

list = ['jack','jeen','jeen']
count = Counter(list)
print(count['jeen'])

Try just using a simple counter function. The idea is to loop through the list you have. In each iteration you are checking whether or not the name you are looking at is equal to 'jeen' in this case. If it is increment your counter, otherwise just move onto the next name. Below is an example:

listNames = ['jack','jeen','jeen']
    occurrences = 0
    for i in listNames:
        if(i == 'jeen'):
            occurrences += 1
    print(occurrences)

There's a built-in method count that does this.

number_of_jeen = list.count('jeen')
