Just a quick hint with the troublesome word "retriever":

' "I" before "E", except after "C". '

You never know: reading my book: "All about your computer" might just tell you something you never knew!

Heh... I don't know much about JSON but that's pretty counter intuitive of the language.

Also, I don't know why people are giving this question a low rating. It seems straight forward enough. Anyone that gave it a low rating care to explain? I'm always interested in such thing.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

This method is slightly different. It is intended to count occurrences of an item within a list. For example, if I needed to count how many times the element "Golden Retriever" appeared in the list, I could execute the following:

dog_breeds.count("Golden Retriever")
