javascript - How to count duplicate words in array and add a count number to EACH word? -

my goal turn

['sara', 'mike', 'sara','sara','jon']  

into

'sara', 'mike', 'sara(1)','sara(2)' 'jon' 

ive seen solutions when counting total number of duplicates, however, couldnt find trying do..

ps. cannot use sort() names should stay in original array..

i tried using regular loop nothing worked, think map approach good, cant figure out how that.

thank you!

edit:

i came here:

function words(arr){   var result=[];   var count=0;  (var i=0; i<arr.length; i++){     if (result.indexof(arr[i])==-1){     result.push(arr[i]);         }     else {         count++;         result.push(arr[i]+"("+count+")");     }   }  return result.join(','); }  words(['sara', 'mike', 'sara','sara','jon'] ); 

and works except returns 'sara,mike,sara(1),sara(2),jon' instead of 'sara','mike,'sara(1)','sara(2)','jon'

anyone knows how change that? tried join, split etc already..

try this:

function countwords (words) {     var wordscounter = {}, results = [];     words.foreach(function (word) {         if (!wordscounter.hasownproperty(word)) {             results.push(word);             wordscounter[word] = 1;         }         else {             results.push(word + '(' + (wordscounter[word]++) + ')');         }     });     return results; }
