Dear ALL,

how to retrieve  most occurred  term in the document 

from collections import Counter 
    
    terms= list(Counter(word for word in d).most_common()[0])
    
    for k, v in terms:
        return v

too many values to unpack



thank you in advance........

You have selected most common word with [0] in your statement, so terms is list with just two items - word and its count. When you iterate over it, you are getting word first and count second - you cant unpack it.

If you remove your [0], it will be possible to iterate over it ( k, v will be word, wordcount ). But if you want only count of most common word, just use terms[1] with your original terms.

But if you want only count of most common word, just use terms[1] with your original terms.

As you say, with his original code, he only has the first item of the most_common list. But that's in the form (word, count), so he wants terms[0] of his original terms to get the most common word.

It's mention to get first most common,you don't need to iterate one more time.

>>> from collections import Counter

>>> s = 'hello car hello a new car hello hello'
>>> terms = Counter(s.split())
>>> terms.most_common(1)
[('hello', 4)]

>>> # Unpack
>>> word, count = terms.most_common()[0]
>>> # If 36 f-string is nice
>>> print(f'The most common word is <{word}> with a count of {count}')
The most common word is <hello> with a count of 4
