freq / freqs [terminology]

Terminology¶

Usage¶

• Use freq for one item's frequency.
• Use freqs for a mapping of items to frequencies.
• counts and freqs are often equivalent, but their emphasis differs:
  • counts: mutable occurrence counters
  • freqs: frequency information used for comparison or scheduling

freqs = Counter(tasks)
max_freq = max(freqs.values()) # highest frequency
cnt_max = 0
for cnt in freqs.values():
    if cnt == max_freq:
        cnt_max += 1
