#' Absolute Frequency Function
#'
#' This function calculates the absolute frequency of a value in a numeric vector.
#'
#' @param v Optional numeric vector (not needed for interactive mode)
#' @param x Optional numeric value to count (not needed for interactive mode)
#' @param learn Logical, if TRUE shows step-by-step explanation
#' @param interactive Logical, if TRUE enables interactive practice mode
#' @return The absolute frequency of x in v (for non-interactive mode)
