Method: Enumerable#count

Defined in:
enum.c

#count ⇒ Integer #count(item) ⇒ Integer #count {|obj| ... } ⇒ Integer

Returns the number of items in enum through enumeration. If an argument is given, the number of items in enum that are equal to item are counted. If a block is given, it counts the number of elements yielding a true value.

ary = [1, 2, 4, 2]
ary.count               #=> 4
ary.count(2)            #=> 2
ary.count{ |x| x%2==0 } #=> 3
