How to count the number of elements in a collection in illuminate/collections?

To count the number of elements in a collection using the Illuminate/Collections package in Laravel, you can use the count method.

Here is an example code snippet:

use Illuminate\Support\Collection;

// Suppose you have a collection called $collection
$collection = new Collection([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);

// Count the number of elements in the collection
$count = $collection->count();

// Output the count
echo $count; // Output: 5

In the above example, we first create a new collection called $collection containing some elements. Then, we use the count method on the collection to get the count of elements, which is assigned to the $count variable. Finally, we output the count using echo.

You can use the count method on any collection instance to get the number of elements it contains.
