 		 #186755 - What is the purpose of counting?
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Objects are inserted manually, one at the time by free fall through tube by gravity.
Tube is a part of some kind of garbage collecting machine so objects can be made of all kinds of material and their mixtures.

Containers are emptied manually from time to time.

What is the purpose of counting the "objects"?

If you're trying to tell when the container is full, a simple count won't help much - will it?
