If I were to use :GetChildren() to count the children with a specific name in the players backpack, how will I do so?

The tool I'm trying to count is in the players backpack (cloned from serverstorage)

function countChildrenByName(name,location)
    local count = 0
    for i,v in pairs(location:GetChildren()) do
        if v.Name == name then
            count = count + 1
        end
    end
    return count
end

location is where you want to get the amount with the name
