How do I find the amount of values/elements that pass a test in an array?

[VirtualVirgin]

If I want to find the amount of values > 0 in array for instance, how do I word it to get a return for that amount?

@VirtualVirgin There are several ways to do this, the most simple is to use a loop and increase a counter each time you hit a match. Or you can use one of the newer array functions such as filter (which will feature in a video next week).

const a = [1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6];

// Method 1, use a loop
inline function count(arr, valueToCount)
{
    local count = 0;

    for (x in arr)
    {
        if (x == valueToCount)
	    count++;
    }
	
    return count;
}

Console.print(count(a, 1)); // 3

// Method 2, use the filter function
Console.print(a.filter(function(x) {return x == 1;}).length); // 3
