Trying to create a new variable out of the response of the respondents in the survey ! Your help will be much appreciated

Hello Intelligent People,

The version of STATA i am using is 14.2 on a Windows 10

Here is a glimpse of what my data looks like

methods1	method2	method3	method4	method5
yes	no	yes	yes	yes
no	no	no	yes	no
no	yes	yes	yes	yes
no	no	no	no	no
yes	no	no	yes	yes
no	no	no	no	no
no	no	no	no	no
yes	yes	no	yes	no
no	no	no	no	no
yes	yes	no	no	yes

So basically i am trying to create a new variable i.e. no_method. I believe that this variable can be derived from the responses of the respondents. So if non of the respondents
have used any method, it will be counted as an observation of "no_method".
So from the data above, there are 4 respondents who have used no method at all

I would be most obliged to you if you could please let me know how to create a new variable no_method.

Kind Regards
