jQuery count how many divs with a class there are and put into string

Is there a way in jQuery to count how many divs you have and put that number into a string 

<div class="name">SOME TEXT</div>

<div class="name">SOME OTHER TEXT</div>

<div class="different">DIFFERENT TEXT</div>

So count the divs with class name and then put that into a string so the output would be this

var strNoDivs = 2

Any ideas?

Thanks

Jamie

According to the reference of jQuery Forum it can be done this way. 

$('input[id*="name"]').length;

var noOfDivs = $('div.name').length?

Using the Length property.

First option is:

var count= $('div.name').length;

or filter() function can be used too.

var count= $('div').filter('.aaa').length;

Like this...

var divisions = $("div.name");
var strNoDivs = divisings.length.toString();
alert(strNoDivs);

var strNoDivs = $('div.name').length;

Done.

jQuery's selector syntax is based on the CSS selector syntax (which, I suppose, is only helpful information if you're already familiar with CSS selectors).
