Thread: arrays and functions (beginner q)

edit since this question is more important than my other now:

Code:

void mode( int freq[], int answer[], int size )
{
   int rating, largest = 0, modeValue = 0;

   cout << "\n********\n  Mode\n********\n";

   for ( rating = 1; rating <= 9; rating++ )
      freq[ rating ] = 0;

   for ( int j = 0; j < size; j++ )
      ++freq[ answer[ j ] ];

   cout << "Response"<< setw( 11 ) << "Frequency"
        << setw( 19 ) << "Histogram\n\n" << setw( 55 )
        << "1    1    2    2\n" << setw( 56 )
        << "5    0    5    0    5\n\n";

   for ( rating = 1; rating <= 9; rating++ ) {
      cout << setw( 8 ) << rating << setw( 11 )
           << freq[ rating ] << "          ";

      if ( freq[ rating ] > largest ) {
         largest = freq[ rating ];
         modeValue = rating;
      }

      for ( int h = 1; h <= freq[ rating ]; h++ )
         cout << '*';

      cout << '\n';
   }

   cout << "The mode is the most frequent value.\n"
        << "For this run the mode is " << modeValue
        << " which occurred " << largest << " times." << endl;
}

what it basically does is display the types of responses, the frequency at which those responces occurred (it puts that data in a nice tabular format) and alongside a histogram of the data. It then states the mode and its frequency. Now my problem, I'm having trouble with an array of a "tie" of mode values (example: 8 and 9 both occurred 20 times) and it only displays 8 occuring 20 times. How can i fix it so it will display both items or more than two for that matter if there is a more-than-two way tie?
