There are many ways to do this in MongoDB.

count() is a cursor method that takes a query and returns a number equal to the amount of documents that matched the query.
$sum is an aggregation operator availible in the $group stage, that can be used to both sum values and count the number of documents.
mapReduce can produce a sum or a count during the results stage.

.count()

print(db.world.count({"continent":"Africa"}))

$sum

pp.pprint(list(

   db.world.aggregate([
       {"$group":{
           "_id":"$continent",
           "sum of population":{"$sum":"$population"},
           "count of countries":{"$sum":1}
       }}
   ])

))

.count()

print(db.world.count("continent":"Africa"))
