Counting the number of elements with the values of x in a vector

Question

I have a vector of numbers:

numbers <- c(4,23,4,23,5,43,54,56,657,67,67,435,
         453,435,324,34,456,56,567,65,34,435)

How can I hav

Answer 1

One option could be to use vec_count() function from the vctrs library:

vec_count(numbers)

   key count
1  435     3
2   67     2
3    4     2
4   34     2
5   56     2
6   23     2
7  456     1
8   43     1
9  453     1
10   5     1
11 657     1
12 324     1
13  54     1
14 567     1
15  65     1

The default ordering puts the most frequent values at top. If looking for sorting according keys (a table()-like output):

vec_count(numbers, sort = "key")

   key count
1    4     2
2    5     1
3   23     2
4   34     2
5   43     1
6   54     1
7   56     2
8   65     1
9   67     2
10 324     1
11 435     3
12 453     1
13 456     1
14 567     1
15 657     1
