Generic Method For Java Arrays

Create a generic method for counting the number of times that a given item occurs in an array. The method accepts an array and an item to find in the array. These are a generic data type. The method returns an integer. Here is an example of calling the method.

If wordList is a variable of type String[] and word is a variable of type String

int count = countOccurrences(wordList, word);

Test your method using an array of String and an array of Integer (not int, can’t use primitive types with generics).

public static void main(String[] args)
{
String[] test = {"test1", "test2", "test1", "test3", "test4", "test5", "test1"};
int occCount = countOccurrences(test, "test1");

System.out.println("Test 1 occured " + occCount + " times in the array");

Integer[] test2 = {1, 4, 5, 24, 53, 23, 53, 24, 59, 35 ,24, 43, 53, 26, 24};
occCount = countOccurrences(test2, 53);

System.out.println("53 occured " + occCount + " times in the array");
}
}...
