You could get away with using only a few variables. Try variables like currentCount, and maxCount, and letterOfMaxCount. Those variable names should give you a good idea of how to proceed.

And since this type of problem is a classic entry level programming assignment this thread is being closed. We cannot do your homework for you but if you have specific problems with the code in your assignment please feel free to post code snippets in another thread and ask your specific questions there.
