How to count percentiles of categories located in an list in Python
I have this giant JSON to work with, assuming I'm new to Python (I do have background in programming), how can I get the percetile of each category included in the json?
I tried to at least get every category but I really don't think that the code I made is performatic.
def countCategory(file):
categorieslist = list()
for book in file:
categories = book["categories"]
for category in categories:
if category not in categorieslist:
categorieslist.append(category)
return categorieslist
You should use "json.load(fp)" to read the json file, and use extend directly to append each item of the list to the list
from collections import Counter
def countCategory(file):
categorieslist = list()
with open(file) as fp:
books = json.load(fp)
for book in books:
categories.extend(book["categories"])
return categorieslist
def get_category_percentage(categories):
counter = Counter(categories)
category_length = len(categories)
for item, count in counter.items():
percentage = (count / len(categories)) * 100
print(f"{item}: {count} ({percentage:.2f}%)")
