const str = "car bus jeep car jeep bus motorbike truck"; const countRepetitive = str => { const strArr = str.split(" "); let count = 0; for(let i = 0; i < strArr.length; i++){ if(i === strArr.lastIndexOf(strArr[i])){ continue; }; count++; }; return count; }; console.log(countRepetitive(str));
Output
Following is the output in the console −
