how to count values in an array using 1.8.6 ?

[Richard Sandoval]

Hi,

How can I count all keys in an array?

For instance, I want to do this

countme = [1,2,3,4,4,4,4,4,5] => [1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5]
countme.count

=> 9

but in ruby 1.8.6, there is only size which doesn't quite work...

How about

countme.uniq.size

I can't quite see what the problem is here.

In 1.9.x, Array#{length,size,count} are synonymous, and 1.8.6 is just
missing the last of those, #count. #length and #size still behave the
exact same and return 9 for your example array.
