count

template<class InIt, class T>
    size_t count(InIt first, InIt last,
        const T& val);

The template function sets a count n to zero. It then executes ++n for each N in the range [0, last - first) for which the predicate *(first + N) == val is true. The function returns n. It evaluates the predicate exactly last - first times.

In this implementation, if a translator does not support partial specialization of templates, the return type is size_t instead of iterator_traits<InIt>::distance_type.
