Please go to the wiki for this stuff, a LOT of answers will be there. Also, shouldn't this be in Ask a Pro?
count = 0
if rs.getInput("side") then
count = count + 1
end

Nope. That will run once, then stop.
Edit: And please, post questions in the Ask a Pro section. That's what it is there for.
local pulse = 0
while true do
local event,p1 = os.pullEvent()
if event == "redstone" then
pulse = pulse + 1
end
end

srry only joined for help im srry didnt know will this work?
print("computers made so far")
local pulse = 0
while true do
local event,p1 = os.pullEvent()
if event == "redstone" then
pulse = pulse + 1
end
end
i need a counter imma use a detector and it will send a pulse after each computer
befor shiped 2 my shop
print("computers made so far")
local pulse = 0
while true do
local event,p1 = os.pullEvent()
if event == "redstone" then
pulse = pulse + 1

Well, that would work, but it will say "computers made so far" and then keep looping and do nothing else (just counting changes in redstone).
To count pulses, you need something like this:
To count pulses, you need something like this:
local sInputSide = "left" -- change to the side of the redstone input (where the wire is)
local count = 0
local lastInput = false
while true do
os.pullEvent("redstone")
local input = rs.getInput(sInputSide)
if input ~= lastInput then
if input then
count = count + 1
print(count, " computers made so far.")
end
lastInput = input
end
end

print("Computers Made so far")
local sInputSide = "back"
local count = 0
local lastInput = false
while true do
os.pullEvent("redstone")
local input = rs.getInput(sInputSide)
if input ~= lastInput then
if input then
count = count + 1
print(count, " computers made so far.")
end
lastInput = input
end
end
i think this will work
local sInputSide = "back"
local count = 0
local lastInput = false
while true do
os.pullEvent("redstone")
local input = rs.getInput(sInputSide)
if input ~= lastInput then
if input then
count = count + 1
print(count, " computers made so far.")
end
lastInput = input
end
end
i think this will work

Well, yes, is the code I posted with a line added at the start :)/>/>print("Computers Made so far")

i think this will work

Well, we are glad that you joined, we just like questions in a certain area so it is seen by the right people.
Not sure what you are trying to do. Are you trying to have a program print the number of items crafted when it is told how many pulses?

local pulse = 0
while true do

local event,p1 = os.pullEvent()
if event == "redstone" then
pulse = pulse + 1
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
write("Computers made so far: "..pulse)

I'm sorry, I can't keep reading your posts. Could you please write your words like they are spelled in the dictionary? It hurts my eyes to look at that and makes it hard to take you seriously. I can understand if you post it once or twice, but to continue writing like you are texting makes me want to ignore these posts. Text speak is not a valid language.

It should work. What kind of error are you getting?

I agree with Cranium.
For the error check if you wrote sInputSide right both times.

Cranium it says
bios:206:{string "count"}:1: '<name>' expected
do you know what this means?
bios:206:{string "count"}:1: '<name>' expected

Can somebody please make a modification to this code to make it print to monitor. I could do it but face it, I'm lazy. :P/>/>

We don't like lazy people here, so go away.Can somebody please make a modification to this code to make it print to monitor. I could do it but face it, I'm lazy. :D/>/>
Just kidding :P/>/>
It's really easy to do it. These are the easier ways:
1. Run the program using monitor <side of the monitor> <program name>.
2. Add this at the top of the code:
term.redirect(peripheral.wrap("<side of the monitor>"))
