[Tutor] Sort a Set

[Jacob S.]

How about this?  Not only does it count each element, but you can also get a 
sorted set without using set!

a = [24,24,24,16,16,15,15]
b = {}
for i in a:
    try: b[i] += 1
    except KeyError: b[i] = 1
print b
li = b.keys()
print li
li.sort()
print li
li.reverse()
print li

has output

{24: 3, 16: 4, 15: 2}
[24, 16, 15]
[15, 16, 24]
[24, 16, 15]

Respectfully,
Jacob Schmidt
