python - Finding the same numbers in an input and summing the paired numbers -
i want find number pairs in input, sum pairs, leave out unpaired numbers. mean
8 8 8 = 16 8 8 8 8 8 = 32
so numbers pair of 2 counted number doesn't have pair won't counted. sorry if worded weird don't know how explain it, example help.
for example:
8 3 4 4 5 9 9 5 2
would output:
36
4+4+5+5+9+9 = 36
in python.
as correction of answer @avinash-raj gave:
import collections s = "8 3 4 4 5 9 9 5 2" l = s.split() print(sum([int(item) * 2 * (count // 2) item, count in collections.counter(l).items()]))
as explanation:
we vacuum numbers in
counter
, tell number of times key has been seenthe expression
(count // 2)
integer division, , gives number of complete pairs. if we've seen key 9 times,(count // 2)
->9 / 2
-> 4.
