2D array finding the most frequent element

[Luke 1345]

I am doing a homework about greyscale bitmap and I am going to find the most frequently occuring greyscale level in an image.
value 0=black
255=pure white

however my code will only show the value of 255
am I writing sth wrong of the for loop or the variable of the int?
please help thanks!!

int get_most_frequent(int workspace[][WORKSPACE_DIM], int image_dim)
{
    int greyscale=0;
    int Count=0;
    int tempgreyscale;
    int tempCount;

    for(int y=0; y<image_dim-1; y++){
        for(int x=0; x<image_dim-1; x++){
            tempgreyscale = workspace[y][x];


            for(int k=0; k<image_dim-1; k++){
                for(int p=0; p<image_dim-1; p++){
                    if(workspace[k][p]==tempgreyscale){
                        tempCount=0;
                        tempCount++;}
                       
                }
            }


            if(tempCount>Count){
                greyscale=tempgreyscale;
                Count=tempCount;
            }
            if(tempCount=Count){
                if(tempgreyscale>=greyscale){
                    greyscale=tempgreyscale;
                    Count=tempCount;
                }
            }

        }
    }



    return greyscale;
}

Look at line 27:

if(tempCount=Count){

You're using the assignment operator, when you presumably intended this to be a comparison.

so do I need to change to if(tempCount==Count){ ?
I have tried but it still cannot find the right value

[Luke 1345]

oh I figered it out. The problem is where the tempCount=0; is placed.

my original code, the tempCount=0; is placed at line 16, so the tempCount will keep ++ without return to 0 when start counting another element.



tempCount=0; should place at line 11, so when it start counting the another element, the tempCount will return to 0.

Also thankyou MikeyBoy pointing out another problem.
