The array class also defines the following useful methods.

array.count() Method

The count() method returns the number of times a given element occurs in the array.

Syntax

array.count(v)

Parameters

import array as arr a = arr.array('i', [1, 2, 3, 2, 5, 6, 2, 9]) c = a.count(2) print ("Count of 2:", c)

It will produce the following output −

Count of 2: 3

array.index() method

The index() method in array class finds the position of first occurrence of a given element in the array.

array.index(v)

Parameters

  • v − the value for which the index is to be found

Example

a = arr.array('i', [1, 2, 3, 2, 5, 6, 2, 9]) c = a.index(2) print ("index of 2:", c)

It will produce the following output −

index of 2: 1

array.fromlist() Method

After running the above code, a file named as "list.txt" will be created in the current directory.

array.fromfile() Method

Syntax

array.fromfile(f, n)

Parameters

  • f − The file object referring to a disk file opened in rb mode

  • n − number of items to be appended

Example

import array as arr a = arr.array('i', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) f = open("list.txt", "rb") a.fromfile(f, 5) print (a)

It will produce the following output −

array('i', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50])
