Thread: Understanding some Logic

Here is a program i am trying to figure out the logic. I can understand the commented lines but then the rest i do not comprehend. Could someone shine some lights.

Code:

/* Title:   Write a program that reads in a sequence of positive integers and prints out the longest
            streak of the same value. E.g., a sample run would be as follows:
            2 6 4 3 3 2 3 2 2 2 2 6 6 6 1 6 6 6
            Streak of 4 2's in a row.


*/
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    int val;                  /* Integer input                    */
    int prev = 0;             /* previous integer                 */
    int streak = 0;           /* streak length of current integer */
    int best_val = 0;         /* value of best streak             */
    int best_streak = 0;      /* streak length of best integer    */


    printf("Input numbers: \n");
    while (scanf("%d", &val) != EOF)    /* Use Ctrl + Z to stop list */
    {
        if (prev == val)    //If previous values are same then start counting
            streak++;
        else
            streak = 1;     //If not same, then assume it is only 1


        if (streak > best_streak)       // The counting value represented by best_streak
        {
            best_streak = streak;
            best_val = val;
        }
            prev = val;
    }


    printf("Streak of %d %d's in a row.\n", best_streak, best_val); //prints the count for long streak and its value.
    return 0;
}

thanks

Tried that to no avail

That there were eleven cars BUT in a consecutive row? right? Line 32 confirms if they are counted in a consecutive way. Am i right?

hello i have the same number to do as a small assignment but i am unable to write it. here i can c the solution but i dnt understand the logic or how u reached to the result..can u please help me out...?
