How to count duplicate value in an array in javascript

Question

Currently, I got an array like that:

var uniqueCount = Array();

After a few steps, my array looks like that:

uniqueCount =          


        

Answer 1

Something like this:

uniqueCount = ["a","b","c","d","d","e","a","b","c","f","g","h","h","h","e","a"];
var count = {};
uniqueCount.forEach(function(i) { count[i] = (count[i]||0) + 1;});
console.log(count);

Use a simple for loop instead of forEach if you don't want this to break in older browsers.
