I would like to know if there is a native javascript code that does the same thing as this:
function f(array,value){
var n = 0;
for(i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
if(array[i] == value){n++}
}
return n;
}

There might be different approaches for such purpose.
And your approach with for
loop is obviously not misplaced(except that it looks redundantly by amount of code).
Here is some additional approaches to get the occurrence of a certain value in array:
Using Array.forEach
method:
var arr = [2, 3, 1, 3, 4, 5, 3, 1];
function getOccurrence(array, value) {
var count = 0;
array.forEach((v) => (v === value && count++));
return count;
}
console.log(getOccurrence(arr, 1)); // 2
console.log(getOccurrence(arr, 3)); // 3
Using Array.filter
method:
function getOccurrence(array, value) {
return array.filter((v) => (v === value)).length;
}
console.log(getOccurrence(arr, 1)); // 2
console.log(getOccurrence(arr, 3)); // 3
You could use reduce to get there:
Working example
var a = [1,2,3,1,2,3,4];
var map = a.reduce(function(obj, b) {
obj[b] = ++obj[b] || 1;
return obj;
}, {});
Another option is:
count = myArray.filter(x => x == searchValue).length;
You can also use forEach
let countObj = {};
let arr = [1,2,3,1,2,3,4];
let countFunc = keys => {
countObj[keys] = ++countObj[keys] || 1;
}
arr.forEach(countFunc);
// {1: 2, 2: 2, 3: 2, 4: 1}
You may want to use indexOf()
function to find and count each value
in array
function g(array,value){
var n = -1;
var i = -1;
do {
n++;
i = array.indexOf(value, i+1);
} while (i >= 0 );
return n;
}
