Frequency of elements in an array

[Kefuci]

I've just got a question which is very hard for me to do.
Here is the question:
In the program you are supposed to take the elements of an array which can be composed of 20 elements at max.When the array takes the value of -1 that means you end the array.Then you input the elements and you want to determine how many times the most entered element is entered.
here is some inputs and outputs
input 224455333
output 3
input 55322212266666
output 5

I forgot to say that the array is only composed of integers.

You forgot another key piece of information: your professor/teacher's e-mail address. Hey, if you're so lazy to do the work yourself, might as well tell us who to send the work to and save yourself even more trouble ;p

Actually I'm not lazy.I have been trying to find out the answer for 2 hours.Here is the last step I've come:

#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
   int x[20],a,i,t,n=0,p;
   for (a=0;a<=19;a++)
   {
      scanf ("%d",&x[a]);
      if (x[a]==-1) 
         break; 
      i++; 
   }
   for(t=0;t<=i-1;t++)
   {
      x[t];
   }
   for(p=0;p<=i-1;p++)
   {
      x[p]; 
      if (x[p]=x[t])
         n=n+1;
   }
   printf("%d",n);
   return 0;
}

I'm repeating again I'm not lazy and I just need some help.The midterm is approaching and I dont have enough time.Moreover, watch your reply which seems like an accusation.

Nice code. You forgot to use CODE tags around it though (formatted code is important enough that this forum has made it a rule.)

You dumped a bunch of unformatted code here, and your assignment. Well done. Now was there a question you had?

The midterm is approaching and I dont have enough time.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you finish the assignment on time.

Moreover, watch your reply which seems like an accusation.

Seems like? Definitely was.

If you had worked on code already, your first post would have had the following information: language you wanted to use, the code you already had written, OS, compiler. Then you would have stated what problem you were facing in writing your code, noting what you expected, and what you actually observed. You would have then told us how you tried to resolve this problem, and how they failed.

Your thread title is poorly named, and you have been holding back key information. If you are wondering why you are getting this kind of a response, you need to read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html. Seriously, read that.

As much as we're willing to help, we hold firmly to the idea of "assist" not "do someone else's work for them".

You have three for statements, one after another. Did you try to create an algorithm for this first? How would you write down all the steps so that even a small child could read your instructions and do this? That's your algorithm. From there, you can create pseudocode, and your code form that.
