Hi all,
Please, what’s the easiest way to return the total number of a given repeated
number in a list of numbers? IOW, how many times is 2 repeated in a list
containing 1,2,3,2,4,2,5,2,8 etc. Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Roger

let's call our containers "tSearchingFor" and "tSearchString"
*set* the itemDelimiter to comma & tSearchString & comma
*put* the number of items in tSearchingFor - 1 into tNum
*if* tSearchString begins with tSearchingFor & comma *then* *add* 1 to tNum
*if* tSearchString ends w

Another way to do it is this:
function countOccurrences pString
repeat for each item tItem in pString
add 1 to tFrequencyArray[tItem]
end repeat
return tFrequencyArray
end countOccurrences
To get the number of 2’s, just extract tFrequencyArray[2] etc.
The advantage is that you
i LOVE all of these solutions.
chunking is so great.
in every language i use, there are two things i always implement:
* chunking
* quicken date shortcuts

put tList into tTest — so you don’t lose the original contents of tList
filter items of tTest with 2
put the number of items of tTest

quicken has/had these very nifty ways of handling date inputs, to make

similarly, month/date e.g. 5/25 is 5/25 of this year.
"T" is today
