    72 
       
    73  1. Given that mat_marks is a list of maths marks of a class. Find out the
       
    74     no.of duplicates marks in the list.
       
    75 
       
    76    Answer::
       
    77 
       
    78      unique_marks = set(mat_marks)
       
    79      no_of_duplicates = len(mat_marks) - len(unique_marks)
       
    80 
       
    81  2. Given that mat_marks is a list of maths marks of a class. Find how many
       
    82     duplicates of each mark exist.
       
    83 
       
    84    Answer::
       
    85 
       
    86      marks_set = set(mat_marks)
       
    87      for mark in marks_set:
       
    88          occurences = mat_marks.count(mark)
       
    89          print occurences - 1, "duplicates of", mark, "exist"
