here some code that doesn't use any (lingo) repeat loop, so might be a
bit faster (but only works for lists that contain numbers only):
on howMany (tList, tValue)
tmp = tList.duplicate()
tmp.sort()
n = tmp.getPos(tValue)
if n = 0 then return 0
tmp = - tmp
tmp.sort()
return (tmp.count + 2 - tmp.getPos(-tValue) - n)
end

Hi,
How is the best way to count the occurrences of values in a list? I
have a
list with 6000+ random generated numbers and I need to count how many
times
each of one appear.
Thank's in advance
