PLS HELP ME FASTTT​

Answer 1

[The answer is as per the view that the question is referring to the count() function present in Python.]

Given statement:

$\tt count()$ is used to find the total of the selected range.

Corrected statement:

$\tt count()$ is used to find the number of occurrences of the specified argument within the data.

For example,

$>>>\ \tt n\ =\ 'Vanessa'\\>>>\ n.count('s')\\2$

Here, we're trying to find the number of times 's' occurs in the string 'Vanessa' that has been assigned to n. It returns 2 as 's' occurs twice in 'Vanessa'.

Another example,

$>>>\ \tt l\ =\ [24,\ 12,\ 34,\ 57,\ 89,\ 12,\ 12,\ 34]\\>>> l.count(12)\\3$

We're trying to check how many times the element 12 occurs in the list l. It returns 3 as 12 occurs thrice in l.
