Anthony, I should have gone a step further. Since you just want the number of occurrences, we should apply Cases also, and transform the output into just it´s first element. In[2]:= Cases[Frequencies[Partition[w,2,1]],{_Integer,{1,0}}]/.{a_,{b__}}->a Out[2]= {4} Julio ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julio Vera" <jvera at adinet.com.uy> To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg35572] Re: [mg35547] Pattern Matching in Lists > Anthony, > > Here´s how I´d do it. > > Load a package that contains the function Frequencies > In[1]:= > <<Statistics`DataManipulation` > > Then apply the function Frequencies to a Partition of w that contains pairs > of it´s elements, each of them starting with each of the elements of w > (except the last one, since it doesn´t have one to follow it). > > In[2]:= > Frequencies[Partition[w,2,1]] > > Out[2]= > {{3,{0,0}},{4,{0,1}},{4,{1,0}},{2,{1,1}}} > > The third element of this list shows w contains 4 elements 1 that are > followed by an element 0 . > > Julio > > > > > > ----- Mensaje original ----- > > De: "Anthony Mendes" <amendes at zeno.ucsd.edu> > > Para: <mathgroup at smc.vnet.net> > > Enviado: Jueves 18 de Julio de 2002 04:06 AM > > Asunto: [mg35547] Pattern Matching in Lists > > > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > Suppose w={1,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0}. > > > > > > How can I count the number of occurrences of a 1 in w immediately > > > followed by a 0 in w? > > > > > > I have tried every incarnation of Count[] I can think of; for example, > > > > > > Count[w,{___,1,0,___}] > > > > > > does not seem to work.
