# NSCountCommand

A command that counts the number of objects of a specified class in the specified object container.

## Declaration

```swift
class NSCountCommand
```

## Overview

Overview An instance of NSCountCommand counts the number of objects of a specified class in the specified object container (such as the number of words in a paragraph or document) and returns the result. NSCountCommand is part of Cocoa’s built-in scripting support. It works automatically to support the count command through key-value coding. Most applications don’t need to subclass NSCountCommand or call its methods.
