Question

I'm in my first java class at school and really need some help. I've looked online for different programs for the same assignment I'm doing now, and none of them seemto work. Here is the assignment:

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 55 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.)
Here are sample runs of the program:

Sample 1:
Enter numbers: 3 5 2 5 5 5 0
The largest number is 5 The occurrence count of the largest number is 4

Sample 2:
Enter numbers: 3 6 5 4 2 4 5 4 5 5 0
The largest number is 6 The occurrence count of the largest number is 1


Any help given is really appreciated, thanks!!

Hope this helps,
please rate!


import java.util.Scanner;


public class largestNumber {

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
int max = 0;
int count = 0;
System.out.println("How many numbers would you like to enter?");
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int size = sc.nextInt();
int[]array = new int[size];
for(int i =0; i<size;i++){
System.out.print("Enter Number: ");
array[i] = sc.nextInt();
}
for(int i = 0; i<size;i++){
if(array[i]>max){
max = array[i];
count = 1;
}
else if(max == array[i]){
count++;
}
}
System.out.println("The largest number is "+max+ " Its occurence is "+count);

}

}

import java.util.*;
public class Main
{public static void main(String[] args)
{int max=0,count=0,num;
Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("enter numbers: ");
num=in.nextInt();
while(num!=0)
{if(num>max)
{count=1;
max=num;
}
else if(max==num)
count++;
num=in.nextInt();
}
System.out.println("The largest number is "+max+" The occurrence count of the largest number is "+count);
}
}
