"""
This program is designed to count the given numbers

The context of the counting algorithm per book has a pass-fail threshhold, given that the
numbers originally represented test scores

Parameters
----------
    input : list
        our input list of numbers 
        Example : [1,3,6,78,3,1,443]         

    passMark : int 
        The pass-fail threshhold  

    total : int 
        total number of entries 

    count : int
        our iterator value to compare against total 

    pass : int
        current number of passing entries 
    
    current : float
        current entry

    total : integer
        total number of entries
