Episode notes

Welcome back to our series on Standard Algorithms! Today, we're focusing on Period 15: Count Occurrences. Our main goal is to help you implement the "Count Occurrences" standard algorithm.

What is Count Occurrences? 🔢

We'll begin by defining the "Count Occurrences" algorithm and discussing its practical applications. This algorithm is designed to tally how many times a specific item appears in an array. For example, you could use it to count how many students received a certain grade, or to find the frequency of a number in a dataset. We’ll review example code that counts occurrences in a randomly generated array, which will give you a clear picture of how the algorithm works.
