Mode Program Help.

I think everything is right but it is still not working. Wonder why. Here is my function. Help please. And I am not allowed to use pointer on this. SO just array and loops.

int mode_calculator(int arrayname[] , int arraylength)
{
int count[arraylength];
int holder;
for (int m=0 ; m < arraylength; m++)
{
for (int n = 0 ; n <arraylength ; n++)
{
if (arrayname[m] = arrayname[n])
{
count[m]++;
}

}
if (count [m] >= count [m-1])
{
holder = arrayname[m];
}

}

return holder;
}

[code] "Please use code tags" [/code]

int count[arraylength]; That's illegal, uninitialized and unnecessary (you are using just 2 values)
if (arrayname[m] = arrayname[n]) That's assignment, == is comparison
bump!
Doesn't ne555's reply answer your question?
no it still does not work :(


i have modified it this way

Just a sidenote, you are searching for equations in a simple 1D array right? it increases the "count" variable when a value gets compared to itself (when m==n ), i guess you dont need that.
Oh, now i see what this code tryes to do. You definitely need the thing i mentioned above then. Btw whats the exact problem? Cant compile or wrong output?
Ok. SO it is comparing the value of the array to all other value of the array using other loop. And counting it.

Problem is bad output. How much i try it does not work. :(
ok. so now i got this. and it works for some time and it does not. I am pasting the full program but the mode function is the top one.

You must reset the count. Always.
I think it works. :) Thanks. I will post again if i find it does not work.
It still has the problem i mentioned. You compare each array slot to itself, thus increasing the count variable 1 time, so:

for (int m=0 ; m < arraylength; m++)
    {
        for (int n = 0 ; n < arraylength ; n++)
        {
            if (  <<<< (n!=m) >>>> && arrayname[m] == arrayname[n])
            {
                 count++;         
            }

        {

                   repeat = count;
                   count = 0;
        }
        
        
         
                                
    } 
i changed that as well thanks
