<BLOCKQUOTE><HR><B>
NOTE -- The second versions of the count() and count_if() functions are not part of the C++ Standard, but are included here as extensions for compatibility purposes. See <A HREF="B.html">Appendix&nbsp;B</A> for a complete list of extensions of this implementation.
</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>The <SAMP>count()</SAMP> algorithm compares <SAMP>value</SAMP> to elements in the sequence defined by iterators <SAMP>start</SAMP> and <SAMP>finish</SAMP>. The first version of <SAMP>count()</SAMP> returns the number of matches. The second version, which is provided for backwards compatibility or as an alternative to the first in case the template <B><I><A HREF="iterator-traits.html">iterator_traits</A></I></B> isn't provided, increments a counting value <SAMP>n</SAMP> each time it finds a match. In other words, <SAMP>count()</SAMP> returns (or adds to <SAMP>n</SAMP>) the number of iterators <SAMP>i</SAMP> in the range <SAMP>[start, finish)</SAMP> for which the following condition holds:</P>
<P><SAMP>*i == value</SAMP></P>
<P>Type <SAMP>T</SAMP> must be <SAMP>EqualityComparable</SAMP>.</P>
<A NAME="sec5"><H3>Complexity</H3></A>
<P>The <SAMP><A HREF="count.html">count_if()</A></SAMP> algorithm lets you specify a predicate, and returns the number of times an element in the sequence satisfies the predicate (or increments <SAMP>n</SAMP> that number of times). That is, <SAMP>count_if()</SAMP> returns (or adds to <SAMP>n</SAMP>) the number of iterators <SAMP>i</SAMP> in the range <SAMP>[start, finish)</SAMP> for which the following condition holds: </P>
<P><SAMP>pred(*i) == true.</SAMP></P>
<P>Both <SAMP>count()</SAMP> and <SAMP><A HREF="count.html">count_if()</A></SAMP> perform exactly <SAMP>finish - start</SAMP> applications of the corresponding predicate.</P>
