Count Elements in Tuple

Write a Python function `count_occurrences(tup, lst)` that takes a tuple `tup` and a list `lst` as input and returns the total count of elements in `tup` that are present in `lst`.

#### Example Usage
```python [main.nopy]
# Example 1
tup = ('a', 'a', 'c', 'b', 'd')
lst = ['a', 'b']
print(count_occurrences(tup, lst))  # Output: 3

# Example 2
tup = (1, 2, 3, 1, 4, 6, 7, 1, 4)
lst = [1, 4, 7]
print(count_occurrences(tup, lst))  # Output: 6

# Example 3
tup = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
lst = [1, 2]
print(count_occurrences(tup, lst))  # Output: 2
```
def count_occurrences(tup, lst):
    """
    Count the occurrences of elements from the list in the tuple.

    Parameters:
    tup (tuple): The tuple to search within.
    lst (list): The list of elements to count in the tuple.

    Returns:
    int: The total count of elements from the list found in the tuple.
    """
    # Initialize a counter
    count = 0
    # Iterate through the tuple and count occurrences of elements in the list
    # Placeholder for implementation
    return count
