    int count = 0;
    for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
        if(c[i]!=0){
             for(int j=i+1; j<n; j++){
                if(c[i]==c[j]){
                    count++;
                    c[j]=0;
                    break;
                    }
                }

    printf("%d", count);

    Solution in C.. O(N^2).. Can it be optimized in C?? Please help..

    My oneliner in python:

    return sum([ar.count(i)//2 for i in set(ar)])

    Fun with Python :)

    from collections import Counter
input()
socks, pairs = Counter(map(int,input().strip().split())), 0
for s in socks: pairs += socks[s]//2
print(pairs)

    Javascript solution that worked for me:

    function sockMerchant(n, ar) {
var res = 0;
    ar.sort();
    for(let i=0; i<n;i++){
        if(ar[i] == ar[i+1]){
            i++;
                  res++;
           }
    }
return res;
}
