  • Nested List and count()

I have a list with one list inside and I would like to count how many times is one element repeat. for example:



list = ['a','b','c',['a','d']]
find = 'a'
list.count(find)


The ouptput is 1, but I'm looking for 2.



There is any easy way to do it?



thanks

          Archive with chain.from_iterable



          from itertools import chain
          print(list(chain.from_iterable(lst)).count('a'))


          First make your list flatten and get the count.
