Java

Question

Write a program that reads integers, finds the largest of them, and counts its occurrences. Assume that the input ends with number 0. Suppose that you entered 3 5 2 5 5 5 0; the program finds that the largest is 5 and the occurrence count for 5 is 4.

Hint: Maintain two variables, max and count. max stores the current max number and count stores its occurrences. Initially, assign the first number to max and 1 to count. Compare each subsequent number with max. If the number is greater than max, assign it to max and reset count to 1. If the number is equal to max, increment count by 1.

Sample Run 1
Enter an integer (0: for end of input): 3
Enter an integer (0: for end of input): 5
Enter an integer (0: for end of input): 2
Enter an integer (0: for end of input): 5
Enter an integer (0: for end of input): 5
Enter an integer (0: for end of input): 5
Enter an integer (0: for end of input): 0
The largest number is 5
The occurrence count of the largest number is 4

Sample Run 2
Enter an integer (0: for end of input): 0
No numbers are entered except 0

Answer 1

In Sololearn we look first for an attempt with the question about a problem by solving.
So please save your code on SL Playground and link here with your question.

Answer 2

The problem is you use variable number in while loop without an value.

Answer 3

Hi, I have already solved the code but it shows some errors,s please check.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Exercise_05_41 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

// Prompt the user to enter number
System.out.print("Enter numbers: ");
int max = input.nextInt(); // Assign the first number to max
int count = 1; // Assign 1 to count
int number; // Holds future inputs

// Assume that the input ends with number 0
while (number > 0) {
number = input.nextInt();
if (number > max) {
max = number;
count = 1;
}
if (number == max)
count++;
}

// Display to results
System.out.println("The largest number is " + max);
System.out.println(
"The occurrence count of the largest number is " + count);
}
}
