Find occurrences of items in an array

Here, we will create an array of integers and then read elements from the user. After that, we will find the occurrences of a given item in the array.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to find occurrences of items in a one-dimensional array is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

'VB.Net program to find occurrences of item 
'in a one-dimensional array.

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Dim arr As Integer() = New Integer(6) {}
        Dim item As Integer = 0
        Dim count As Integer = 0

        Console.WriteLine("Enter array elements: ")
        For i = 0 To 5 Step 1
            Console.Write("Element[{0}]: ", i)
            arr(i) = Integer.Parse(Console.ReadLine())
        Next

        Console.WriteLine("Enter Item: ")
        item = Integer.Parse(Console.ReadLine())

        For i = 0 To 5 Step 1
            If item = arr(i) Then
                count = count + 1
            End If
        Next
        Console.WriteLine("Total occurrences of {0} is:{1}", item, count)
    End Sub

End Module

Output

Enter array elements:
Element[0]: 10
Element[1]: 12
Element[2]: 12
Element[3]: 14
Element[4]: 13
Element[5]: 12
Enter Item:
12
Total occurrences of 12 is:3
Press any key to continue . . .

Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains a function Main(). In the Main() we created an array arr of six elements and we also created more variables item, count which are initialized with 0.

Console.WriteLine("Enter array elements: ")
For i = 0 To 5 Step 1
    Console.Write("Element[{0}]: ", i)
    arr(i) = Integer.Parse(Console.ReadLine())
Next

Console.WriteLine("Enter Item: ")
item = Integer.Parse(Console.ReadLine())

In the above code, we read the values of array elements and also read the value for the item.

For i = 0 To 5 Step 1
    If item = arr(i) Then
        count = count + 1
    End If
Next
Console.WriteLine("Total occurrences of {0} is:{1}", item, count)

In the above code, we find the occurrences of a given item and print the count on the console screen.
