jQuery count how many divs with a class there are and put into string

Question

Is there a way in jQuery to count how many divs you have and put that number into a string

<div class="name">SOME TEXT</div>

<div class="name">SOME OTHER TEXT</div>

<div class="different">DIFFERENT TEXT</div>

So count the divs with class name and then put that into a string so the output would be this

var strNoDivs = 2

Any ideas?

Thanks

Jamie

Answer 1

var nb = $('div.name').length;

Answer 2

First option is:

var count= $('div.name').length;

or filter() function can be used too.

var count= $('div').filter('.aaa').length;
