[Tutor] Detecting different list elements and counting them

Hi,

I have a list like the following:

my_list = [ 'ABC', 'E', 'ABC', 'ABC', 'HJ', 'HJ' ]

It would be nice to have the information which elements are in the list 
and how many times these elements appear in the list.

A dictionary as the result like the following would be fine.

my_dict = {'ABC':3, 'E':1, 'HJ':2}


Thank you for any ideas or hints.

Michael
