table.countvalues

[Sainan]

function table.countvalues(t)
    local counts = {}
    for t as elm do
        counts[elm] = (counts[elm] ?? 0) + 1
    end
    return counts
end

Could consider table.values() instead that returns an array of values

[Sainan]

Wdym?

[well-in-that-case]

local assert = require("assert")
local t = { a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 }
assert.equals({ 1, 2, 3 }, t:values())

Then you could query for length if you needed.

How does that solve this?
