How to find a mode in an Array set

[Quattro]

I have some custom SharePoint site definitions but i heard that if we wanted to deploy it we have to make use of SharePoint wsp solution packages, which i have tried but it does not show anything. I have also read that a method involving hashing could be a good way to find the mode of an array of floating point numbers. Is this correct and how do it related to me.

First create a second array with a size of the range of your first array. So, if your array has numbers 0 to 100 in it, the array should have 101 slots. it seems the obvious way to implement this using a hash table would be to use the number as a key, and as the value stored, use a frequency counter.

Return sourceIndex if you want to know where the first occurrence of the element is, or sourceElement if you want to know the "value" of the element. The mode of an array of numbers is the number m in the array that is repeated most frequently. If more than one number is repeated with equal maximal frequencies, there is no mode.

for (int k = 0; k <array.length; k++){
            for (int j = k + 1; j < array.length; j++){
                if (array[k] == array[j]){
                    count++;
                    k++;          // <-------------------------
                }
            }

it always comes true and the return value is termed 0. However, without that statement and the condition that there cannot be a '0 mode' the program works fine. I would advise against using a hash, as it assumes exact comparisons -- never a good assumption on floating-point numbers. What if your array contains some elements 0.2(00000000) and 0.2(00000001), which really should be considered equal, but aren't because they came from different calculations?
