How to count the number of occurrences of an element in a List

Question

I have an ArrayList, a Collection class of Java, as follows:

ArrayList animals = new ArrayList();
animals.add(\"bat\         


        

Answer 1

Java 8 - another method

String searched = "bat";
long n = IntStream.range(0, animals.size())
            .filter(i -> searched.equals(animals.get(i)))
            .count();
