Count returned result Ruby On Rails

In order to display the number of items of a type, use the count method.

I have two classes Type and Entities. An entity has a type. If I want to count how many entities have the same type I would do



(<%= Entity.count(:conditions =>{:Type_id => type.id})%>)

or



(<%= Entity.count(:conditions =>{:Type_id => type.1})%>)

Which would return something like

Number of entities (26)
