Is there any way to count the number of occurrences in a jQuery array?

Question

I have an array that I put together in jQuery and I\'m wondering if there is a way that I could find the number of occurrences of a given term. Would I have better results i

You can probably do like this -

var myArray = ['a','fgh','dde','a3e','rra','ab','a'];
var occurance = 0;
var lookupVal = 'a';
$(myArray).each(function (index, value) {
     if(value.indexOf(lookupVal)!= -1) 
     {
        occurance++;
     }
});
