Could someone explain how the below c++ code works....??

[mrexp21]

Code to determine mode .

double mode (double numbers [], int i)
{
int* Repetition = new int[n];
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
{
Repetition[i] = 0;
int j = 0;
bool bFound = false;
while ((j < i) && (numbers[i] != numbers[j]))
{
if (numbers[i] != numbers[j])
{
++j;
}
}
++(Repetition[j]);
}
int mode = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < n; ++i)
{
if (Repetition[i] > Repetition[mode])
{
mode= i;

}
}
cout << "Mode\t\t\t\t"<< numbers[mode]<<endl<<endl;
return 0;
}

Code to determine mode .

1) Your question is not specific to Visual C++. It should have been posted in the non-Visual C++ forum.

2) Use code tags when posting code. The code you posted is unformatted and almost unreadable. Look here:

double mode (double numbers [], int i)
{
	int* Repetition = new int[n];
	for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
	{
                Repetition[i] = 0;
                int j = 0;
                bool bFound = false;
                while ((j < i) && (numbers[i] != numbers[j]))
                {
                        if (numbers[i] != numbers[j])
                        {
                             ++j;
                        }
                }
               ++(Repetition[j]);
	}
        int mode = 0;
	for (int i = 1; i < n; ++i)
	{
		if (Repetition[i] > Repetition[mode])
		{
                      mode= i;
		}
	}
        cout << "Mode\t\t\t\t"<< numbers[mode]<<endl<<endl;
	return 0;
}

See how that looks?

3) The person that wrote this code needs to learn proper C++ handling of dynamically allocated memory. The function leaks memory as there is no call to delete[].

4) Where did the "n" come from here?

int* Repetition = new int[n];

It isn't declared anywhere. So no one can tell you how the function works, since it can't be compiled due to syntax errors.

Did you mean this?

double mode (double numbers [], int i)  // should the "i" be really "n"?

If so, then you must have attempted to type in your code when you posted your message. Don't type in your code -- copy and paste the code from your editor into the message.

You still did not use code tags when posting code. It looks even worse -- please go back and fix your post so that you include code tags.

And why are you asking us what it does? Did you write the code? If you did, then you don't know what you wrote?
