JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-70 with Solution

Count Value in Array

Write a JavaScript program to count a value in an array.

• Use Array.prototype.reduce() to increment a counter each time the specific value is encountered inside the array.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2
// Define a function 'countOccurrences' that counts the number of occurrences of a value in an array.
const countOccurrences = (arr, val) =>
  arr.reduce((a, v) => (v === val ? a + 1 : a), 0);

// Example usages:
console.log(countOccurrences([1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3], 1)); // Output: 3
console.log(countOccurrences([1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3], 2)); // Output: 2
console.log(countOccurrences([1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3], 3)); // Output: 1

Output:
