One-liner to count number of occurrences of String in a String[] in Java?

Question

I have an array of String:

String[] myArray = {\"A\", \"B\", \"B\", \"C\"};

Is there a quick way to count the number of occurrence

Answer 1

You can also try using Guava which is full of useful utilities. Using below code, you can count the frequency via Multiset:

public static void main(final String[] args) {
        String[] myArray = {"A", "B", "B", "C"};
        Multiset wordsMultiset = HashMultiset.create();
        wordsMultiset.addAll(new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(myArray)));
        int counts=wordsMultiset.count("B");
        System.out.println(counts);
    }

Although I know that you are looking for a single liner, but Guava is full of many more utils which are not possible with routine java utils.
