finding the mode in an array

[cseter]

I've been at this for a few hours now. I've been trying to find the mode in the const data array. Here is my code so far

static float modeOfValues(const float *data,int count){
int meanCounter = 0;
int i,j;
float mode;
int counter = 1;
int countArray[200];
	for(i = 0;i < count;i++)//initialize the count array to all zeros
		countArray[i]=0;

	for(i=0;i<count;i++){
		for(j=i+1;j<count;j++){
			if(data[i]==data[j]){
				countArray[i]=counter+1;
				printf("counter%d\n",counter);
			}
		}
	}
	for(i=0;i<count;i++)
		printf("%d\n",countArray[i]);	
	
	for (i=0;i<count;i++){
		if(countArray[i] > meanCounter){
			meanCounter = data[i];
		}
		else if(countArray[i] < meanCounter){
			meanCounter = data[i];
		}	
	}
	mode = data[meanCounter];
	return mode;
}

I'm trying to create an array that will hold how many times a number comes up in the original array, but the numbers in the counter array are not getting incremented the way I hope they do. Can anyone see something I can't ?

Counting generally involves adding one to the number you have (countArray) not some completely other number (counter).

I thought that countArray[i] + 1 would just increment the index to the next position. I am trying to increment the value in countArray when I come up to a value in the original array where there are similar values in the array.
