Better way of counting items in a container

[desert nebula]

is there a quicker way to do this:

        local amount = 0
    for _, v in pairs(player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").Notifications.Container:GetChildren()) do
        if v:IsA("TextLabel") then
            amount += 1
        end
    end```

seems fine to me

[desert nebula]

it works yeah i just dont like that its that long

@full aspen

[vale wadi]

wdym that long

?

[desert nebula]

6 lines

like for example

in c# its possible in one line,

[vale wadi]

and lua too xd

[desert nebula]

where

[full aspen]

i mean u could also do :GetChildren() and get the length of the table but you also collect things that arent text labels

[desert nebula]

or how

[full aspen]

but other than that u shouldnt care abt how long it is

[vale wadi]

        local amount = 0 for _, v in pairs(player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").Notifications.Container:GetChildren()) do if v:IsA("TextLabel") then amount += 1 end end

this only make the code unreadable

[full aspen]

single line code is unbearable

[desert nebula]

yeah

i was thinking like u said :getchildren

and then collecting them from that

but that would be the same really

i'll jst keep it as it was then

Well you can just make a function called like GetChildrensOfClass and return a list of children that have that class, and just get the length of that array.
