Sorting & Comparing issues

I have a program that ask a user to input numbers and then a terminal value when finished. It calculates the sum of the numbers as well as count the positive, negative and zero numbers entered. However, I have to rewrite it to also determine what number was entered the most in a row. This is a lab assignment for college and I cant use arrays or read from files. My original code is:

I am a little stumped at how to go about this. I have written a seperate program to isolate the counting of this, but as you can see, I am getting nowhere.

can anyone help me in the right direction? Thanks

If I understand you correctly, you want to get 7 if the input is 17772 but not 71727.
If so, then

int num=0;
int rcount=0, rtype=0;
int rcountmax=0, rtypemax=0;

do{
    //Enter the num
    if(rtype == num) rcount++;
    else{
        if(rcount > rcountmax){
            rcountmax = rcount;
            rtypemax = rtype;
        }
        rcount = 0;
    }
    rtype = num;
}while(num != 9999);
//Write rtypemax and rcountmax+1

though this code is a little wrong.
if you don't enter any repeating numbers it will return 0
if you, for example enter 00333 it will also return 0...

Thanks for the help. After looking at your suggestions and advice from someone else, I figured it out, for the most part. The program now works as I intended, but the only catch is when someone entered more than one number the same amount of times, it only catches the first one. For example if I entered: 55662210, It should say that 5, 6 and 2 were entered the most, but it displays 5. Here is my code:
