find the Median and mode of an array using functions

Question

I need help with this assignment. I have to write a program that creates a random numbers array with 100 elements that I find the median and mode for using functions. The code I have only prints 1s for both values. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

const unsigned int n = 100;

double findMedian()
{
static int a[n];
sort(a, a+n);

for(int i = 0; i<n; i++) {
a[i] = (rand() % 53) + 1;
}

if (n % 2 != 0)
return (double)a[n/2];

return (double)(a[(n-1)/2] + a[n/2])/2.0;
}

int findMode () {
srand((unsigned)time(NULL));

static int a[n];
int count = 0, mode = 0;

for(int i = 0; i<n; i++) {
a[i] = (rand() % 53) + 1;
for(int j = 0; j<n; j++) {
a[j] = (rand() % 53) + 1;
int tempMost = a[j];
int tempCount = 0;
for(int t = 0; t<n; t++) {
a[t] = (rand() % 53) + 1;
if(a [t]==tempMost) {
tempCount++;
if(tempCount>count) {
tempCount++;
if(tempCount>count) {
mode= tempMost;
count = tempCount;
}
}
}
}
}
}
return a[n]+count;
}

int main()
{
srand(time(NULL));
int a[n];
int n = sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[100]);
int size = 100;

for(int i = 0; i<n; ++i) {
a[i] = (rand() % 53) + 1;
//cout << findMedian<<endl;
//ut << findMode<<endl;
}
cout << findMedian<<endl;
cout << findMode<<endl;
return 0;
}

wow, you're absolutely right, I've been working on this so long I forgot about that once I finally worked out the logic for the mode
