Method: Enumerable#count

Defined in:

enum.c

#count ⇒ Integer #count(object) ⇒ Integer #count {|element| ... } ⇒ Integer

Returns the count of elements, based on an argument or block criterion, if given.

With no argument and no block given, returns the number of elements:

[0, 1, 2].count                # => 3
{foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.count # => 3

With argument object given, returns the number of elements that are == to object:

[0, 1, 2, 1].count(1)           # => 2

With a block given, calls the block with each element and returns the number of elements for which the block returns a truthy value:

[0, 1, 2, 3].count {|element| element < 2}              # => 2
{foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.count {|key, value| value < 2} # => 2

Overloads:

• #count ⇒ Integer

  Returns:
• #count(object) ⇒ Integer

  Returns:
• #count {|element| ... } ⇒ Integer

  Yields:

  • (element)

  Returns:
