Return value
The count() method returns the number of occurrences of a value in an array.
Example
# importing the array moduleimport array as arr# creating an integer data type arrayx = arr.array('i', [1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,2,4,7])# using the count function for the value 2 in the arrayy = x.count(2)# printing the number of countsprint('The number of occurrences of the value 2 in the array is: ', y)
