Nice article, waiting for the part 2!

Just for the record, we could also write this part

if item_map_count.get(item):
    item_map_count[item] += 1
else:
    item_map_count[item] = 1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

item_map_count[item] = 1 + item_map_count.get(item, 0)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
