Trying to count string members in a list

David M Gonzales over 4 years ago

I have a list that has 4 strings as members.

Example... ( "X" "X" "Y" "Y" )

Is there a way to obtain the results

X = 2

Y = 2

procedure(CountItems2(lst)
let((x c r tbl)
(tbl = makeTable("tbl" 0))
(while lst
(x =(car lst))
if( tbl[x] then
tbl[x] = add1(tbl[x])
else
tbl[x] = 1;
)
(lst = cdr(lst))
)
foreach(val tbl
printf("%L = %d\n" val tbl[val])
)
)
)

> (CountItems2 '("A" "B" "C" "A" "A" "C"))
"C" = 2
"A" = 3
"B" = 1
table:tbl
