Thanks! Just a little problem with the same program now...fixed most of it, but I've got a little problem withthe printout...if three repetitions of a number are made, it only records two. How can I fix this?
Can you put the code back out here so I can see what changes that you made again so I am not going back over what you already treked down?

Tried to fix it...sure didn't work! The last function isn't working right, and the program crashes if the user enters an invalid entry.

Here are the changes you must make:
void sort(int list[], int count)
{
int i, start, temp;
for(start=0; start<count; start++)
for ( i =0; i < start; i++ )
{
if(list[start]<list[i])
{
temp=list[start];
list[start]=list[i];
list[i]=temp;
}
}
}
void printout(int list[], int count)
{
printf("<%d entries>\n", count);
for(int i=0; i<count; i++)
printf(" %d \n", list[i]);
}
Plus you need to get rid of the fflush line you have in readit.

Hope that helps you :0). I have to run for the evening so if you need anymore help on this tonight you will probably need someone else to help you. Otherwise, I can respond tomorrow.

I don't think I said what this program is supposed to do...I have to make a list of ascending numbers, and if an entry is repeated, I must write next to it (2 entries), etc. For example...
If these numbers are entered
4
4
4
3
3
1
2
It must list...
1
2
3 (2 entries)
4 (3 entries)
Thanks for your help though!

Just curious if you got it to work? Let me know. Hope you did! :0)
I do, however, see the following problems:
int main(void)
should return an int but doesn't
printf(" (%d entries)/n",ctr);
should be
printf(" (%d entries)\n",ctr);
printf("/n");
should be
printf("\n");
