How to count duplicate value in an array in javasc

Question

Currently, I got an array like that:

var uniqueCount = Array();

After a few steps, my array looks like that:

uniqueCount = [a,b,c,d,d,e,a,b,c,f,g,h,h,h,e,a];

How can I count how many a,b,c are there in the array? I want to have a result like:

a = 3
b = 1
c = 2
d = 2

etc.

Answer 1

var string = ['a','a','b','c','c','c','c','c','a','a','a'];

function stringCompress(string){

var obj = {},str = "";
string.forEach(function(i) { 
  obj[i] = (obj[i]||0) + 1;
});

for(var key in obj){
  str += (key+obj[key]);
}
  console.log(obj);
  console.log(str);
}stringCompress(string)

Create a file for example demo.js and run it in console with node demo.js and you will get occurrence of elements in the form of matrix.

var multipleDuplicateArr = Array(10).fill(0).map(()=>{return Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(9))});
console.log(multipleDuplicateArr);

var resultArr = Array(Array('KEYS','OCCURRENCE'));

for (var i = 0; i < multipleDuplicateArr.length; i++) {
  var flag = true;
  for (var j = 0; j < resultArr.length; j++) {
     if(resultArr[j][0] == multipleDuplicateArr[i]){
       resultArr[j][1] = resultArr[j][1] + 1;
       flag = false;
      }
  }
  if(flag){
    resultArr.push(Array(multipleDuplicateArr[i],1));
  }
}

console.log(resultArr);

You will get result in console as below:

[ 1, 4, 5, 2, 6, 8, 7, 5, 0, 5 ] . // multipleDuplicateArr
[ [ 'KEYS', 'OCCURENCE' ],        // resultArr
  [ 1, 1 ],
  [ 4, 1 ],
  [ 5, 3 ],
  [ 2, 1 ],
  [ 6, 1 ],
  [ 8, 1 ],
  [ 7, 1 ],
  [ 0, 1 ] ]

function count() {
    array_elements = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "a", "b", "c", "f", "g", "h", "h", "h", "e", "a"];

    array_elements.sort();

    var current = null;
    var cnt = 0;
    for (var i = 0; i < array_elements.length; i++) {
        if (array_elements[i] != current) {
            if (cnt > 0) {
                document.write(current + ' comes --> ' + cnt + ' times<br>');
            }
            current = array_elements[i];
            cnt = 1;
        } else {
            cnt++;
        }
    }
    if (cnt > 0) {
        document.write(current + ' comes --> ' + cnt + ' times');
    }

}

Duplicates in an array containing alphabets:

var arr = ["a", "b", "a", "z", "e", "a", "b", "f", "d", "f"],
  sortedArr = [],
  count = 1;

sortedArr = arr.sort();

for (var i = 0; i < sortedArr.length; i = i + count) {
  count = 1;
  for (var j = i + 1; j < sortedArr.length; j++) {
    if (sortedArr[i] === sortedArr[j])
      count++;
  }
  document.write(sortedArr[i] + " = " + count + "<br>");
}

Duplicates in an array containing numbers:

var arr = [2, 1, 3, 2, 8, 9, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 24, 25, 67, 10, 54, 2, 1, 9, 8, 1],
  sortedArr = [],
  count = 1;
sortedArr = arr.sort(function(a, b) {
  return a - b
});
for (var i = 0; i < sortedArr.length; i = i + count) {
  count = 1;
  for (var j = i + 1; j < sortedArr.length; j++) {
    if (sortedArr[i] === sortedArr[j])
      count++;
  }
  document.write(sortedArr[i] + " = " + count + "<br>");
}

Answer 5

var counts = {};
your_array.forEach(function(x) { counts[x] = (counts[x] || 0)+1; });

Answer 6

You can do something like that:

uniqueCount = ['a','b','c','d','d','e','a','b','c','f','g','h','h','h','e','a'];
var map = new Object();

for(var i = 0; i < uniqueCount.length; i++) {
 if(map[uniqueCount[i]] != null) {
    map[uniqueCount[i]] += 1;
} else {
    map[uniqueCount[i]] = 1;
    }
}

now you have a map with all characters count
