Hello @jahnaviT2003
We appreciate the effort you’ve put into this contribution. Thank you for contributing!

For Hacktoberfest, we’re aiming for high-quality contributions providing real-world developer use cases. You can see some of the recently merged PRs to know the kind of code snippets we are aiming for.

Also, Please refer to the contributing guidelines.
Expanded Snippets: Code snippets reused from the ServiceNow Documentation or API References are acceptable only if they are expanded in a meaningful way (e.g., with additional context, documentation, or variations). Remember: "QUANTITY IS FUN, QUALITY IS KEY."

This count function using GlideQuery is already available in ServiceNow Documentation.

https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/zurich-api-reference/page/app-store/dev_portal/API_reference/GlideQuery/concept/GlideQueryGlobalAPI.html

Please reopen/ submit a new one after adding more dynamic context/use cases that are more suitable for the Hactoberfest
