Write a method count that accepts an element value as a parameter and returns the number of occurrences of that value in the list. For example, suppose a variable named list stores the following sequence of elements: 

[one, two, three, two, four, two, five, two, two, six]

A call of list.count("two") should return 5 because there are five occurrences of that value in the list. If the list does not contain the value at all, return 0.

The example shown is a list of strings, but this is a generic linked list class that can store any type of objects. Assume that you are adding this method to the LinkedList<E> class as defined below: 

public class LinkedList<E> {
    private ListNode front;   // null for an empty list
    ...
}
