This line: while(a != terval)
contains a compilation error.
int[] a
was never initialized so it has a null
a value when the loop begins.
int[] a
is an integer array and int terval
is an integer. The conditional a != terval
is undefined because you cannot compare an int array to an int.
Undefined Comparison: int[] != int
You can compare a single integer in the integer array to another single integer
Defined Comparison: int[x] != int
This would work: a[x] != terval
where x
is an array index you want to check
Consider this revision:
public class Main{
public static void main(String[] args){
boolean go = true; //controls master loop
int modes;
int terval = -1;
int[]a;
while(go) { //master loop
a = IO.readInt[];
for(int i = 0; i < a.length; i++){
go &= !(a[i] == -1); //sets go to false whenever a -1 is found in array
//but the for loops do not stop until
//the array is iterated over twice
int count = 0;
for(int j = 0;j < a.length; j++){
if(a[j] == a[i])
count++;
}
modes = a[i];
}
}
System.out.println(count);
System.out.println(modes);
}
To get user input from the Console:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main{
public static void main(String[] args){
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
boolean go = true;
int modes;
int count;
int size = 32; //max array size of 32
int terval = -1;
int t=0;
int i=0;
int[] a = new int[size];
while(go && i < size) { //master loop
t = in.nextInt();
go &= !(t == terval);
if (go) { a[i++] = t; }
}
// "a" is now filled with values the user entered from the console
// do something with "modes" and "count" down here
// note that "i" conveniently equals the number of items in the partially filled array "a"
}
