how to count how many subdirectory containing more than a certain number of specific file type

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem:

Write a script called countFiles that takes two arguments, the initial directory and the number of levels and returns the count of all files (including directories) in the directories and subdirectories up to the number of levels.

I am able to list all the directories by

find ./ -type d

I attempted to list the contents of each directory and count the number of files in each directory by using the following command

find ./ -type d | xargs ls -l | wc -l

But this summed the total number of lines returned by

find ./ -type d | xargs ls -l

Is there a way I can count the number of files in each directory?

count of records ---> this count should be one less than the actual count obtained, as the file will have a header.
