How to count occurrences of Friday 13th

I worked on this problem in 2015. Here is part on my notebook from that time.

A not so good algorithm.

friday13th[year_Integer] := 
  Select[DayName[#] === Friday &] @
    DateRange[DateObject[{year, 1, 13}], DateObject[{year, 12, 13}], {1, "Month"}]

A good algorithm.

friday13th[year_Integer] := 
  Select[DayName[#] === Friday &] @ Table[DateObject[{year, i, 13}], {i, 12}]

A better algorithm.

friday13th[year_Integer] := 
  Select[DayName[#] === Friday &] @ Array[DateObject[{year, #, 13}] &, 12]

Using the better algorithm, I got (at the time I created the notebook)

friday13th @ 2014

2014

friday13th @ 2015

2015

And for this year, I get

friday13th @ 2019

2019


Select[
 Table[DateObject@{2019, m, 13}, {m, 12}],
 DateString[#, "DayName"] === "Friday" &
]

{Day: Fri 13 Sep 2019,Day: Fri 13 Dec 2019}

countFri13[year_Integer]:=Length @ Select[
 Table[DateObject@{year, m, 13}, {m, 12}],
 DateString[#, "DayName"] === "Friday" &
]

Thanks @m_goldberg!

I ended up slightly modifying your code to find answer a halloween-themed question my 8 year old daughter had. "When will there be a Friday the 13th that happens on the full moon in October?"

friday13thfullmoon[year_Integer] := 
 Select[DayName[#] === Friday && DateValue[#, "Month"] === 10 && 
     MoonPhase[#, "Name"] === Entity["MoonPhase", "Full"] &]@
  Array[DateObject[{year, #, 13}] &, 12]

that's a little beyond her wolfram language capability (and I had to study yours for a few mins too), but she was able to understand the next step

Table[friday13thfullmoon[year], {year, 2020, 3020}] // Flatten

Turns out that in the next 1000 years it only happens three times!
