Please Help Fix my Code

asked Oct 24, 2020 by Alvin (130 points)
I am trying to make a code that takes inputs and finds the frequency of the inputs. What I want is the output to be something like

"the number 5 has occurred 3 times"

but whenever I run the code the output is

"the number 5 has occurred 3 times"

"the number 5 has occurred 2 times"

"the number 5 has occurred 1 times"

Please help me fix this my code is below

#include <stdio.h>

#define MIN_SCORE 0

#define MAX_SCORE 450

#define MIN_PLAYERS 0

#define MAX_PLAYERS 2000

int main (){

int topScore [MAX_PLAYERS];

int numPlayers;

    float sum;

    int placeHolder1;

    int frequnecy [100];

    printf ("Please enter how many players there are\n");

    do{

        scanf ("%i",&numPlayers);

        if (numPlayers > MAX_PLAYERS || numPlayers < MIN_PLAYERS){

            printf ("Invalid please try again\n");

        }

        else printf ("There are %i players\n",numPlayers);

    }

    while (numPlayers > MAX_PLAYERS || numPlayers < MIN_PLAYERS);

    for (int i = 0; i < numPlayers; i++){

printf ("Enter score betweem 0 and 450 for person %i\n", i+1);

do{

scanf ("%i", &topScore [i]);

if (topScore [i] > 450 || topScore [i] < 0){

    printf ("Invalid please enter a number between 0 and 450 for person %i\n", i+1);

        frequnecy[i] = -1;

}}

while (topScore [i]> MAX_SCORE || topScore [i]< MIN_SCORE);

}

for(int i = 0; i < numPlayers; i++) {

     printf("Player %i scored %d\n",i+1, topScore [i]);

  }

    sum = 0;

    

    for (int i = 0; i < numPlayers; i++){

        sum = sum + topScore [i];

    }

    

    printf ("The average top score was %.1f \n\n", sum/numPlayers);

for (int i = 0; i < numPlayers; i++){

    placeHolder1 = 1;

    for (int j = i+1; j < numPlayers; j++)

    {

    if (topScore [i] == topScore [j])

    {

        placeHolder1++;

        frequnecy[j] = 0;

    }

}

    if (frequnecy != 0 ){

        frequnecy[i] = placeHolder1;

    }

}

    

    for (int i = 0; i < numPlayers; i++){

        if (frequnecy[i] != 0){

        printf ("%d occurs %d times\n", topScore[i], frequnecy[i]);

        }

    }    

    printf ("%5s", "Top Score");

    printf ("%20s", "Frequnecy");

    

}
