Counter.elements()
Counter.elements() is a Python method in the Collections Module category. Returns an iterator over elements repeating each as many times as its count. The syntax is Counter.elements(). Returns: Iterator. A typical example: list(Counter("aab").elements()) # ["a","a","b"]. A close sibling is collections.deque(), which returns a double-ended queue (deque) with efficient O(1) appends/pops from both ends. A close sibling is deque.append(), which adds x to the right side of the deque. A close sibling is deque.appendleft(), which adds x to the left side of the deque. A close sibling is deque.pop(), which removes and returns the rightmost element. Raises IndexError if empty.
