Syntax

%count = al:CountSubset( selectionCriterion)

Syntax terms

%count	A numeric variable to contain the count of matching items.
al	An Arraylist object.
selectionCriterion	A SelectionCriterion object, which is a relational expression that is applied to an al item value to determine whether the value satisfies the expression. The expression consists of a function, an operator, and a numeric or string value. For example, GT(this, -11) is the criterion this > -11, where this is an identity function value that simply returns the item's value. The items that satisfy this expression populate the subset whose count CountSubset returns. The function in the criterion is a method value (a method or class member name literal, or a method variable) for a method that operates on items of the type specified on the al Arraylist declaration and that returns a numeric or string value. This is described further in "Specifying a SelectionCriterion's parameters".

Usage notes

• A CountSubset call with a particular selection criterion is equivalent to a count of the items in the subset returned by the SubsetNew method with that criterion.
