Use SQLModel to query a table using `skip` and `limit` and also get the number of items, using a single query (FastAPI)

It gets the total number of users in the table. This is useful because the query only returns a subset of the users, often if you're doing pagination like this you want to know how many pages there are in total.
Why this comment i do in this page looks differently, it looks like not normal github comment, here is not any emojies, and not such things, why is this.
with Session(engine) as session:
statement = (
select(func.count())
.select_from(NotePart)
.where(NotePart.user_id == RanaUniverse_id)
)
all_note_count = session.exec(statement).one()
return all_note_count
what you can say about this, is this ok like this, or it can be more improved, i not understand how does it work as this says .one() as i am wantt to get how many row it has.

select(User, func.count(User.id).over().label("total")) # type
i don't understand that func.count line how and what does it do
