Finding Mode of an array of numbers.

Question

I'm having troubles with finding the mode of an array of numbers.
When the mode is in the middle of the set of numbers, it works, but when it is at the end, it doesnt.
For example..
if i had the numbers ...
2,3,3,4,5,6,6,6 in an array, it would tell me that the mode is 3.
if i had the numbers...
2,4,5,5,5,6 in an array, it would tell me that the mode is 5.
So the first set of numbers, the mode is incorrect, but the second set of numbers is correct.
The following is my code...
public static int getMode(int[] list)
int mode = 0;
int elements = 0;
int tempMode = list[0];
int temp = 1;
for(int x = 1; x < list.length; x++)
if(list[x-1] == list[x])
temp++;
}else{
if(temp > elements)
System.out.println("entered");
tempMode = list[x-1];
elements = temp;
temp = 1;
}else{
temp = 1;
mode = tempMode;
return mode;
}

You need to add another test at the end of the loop:
    public static int getMode(int[] list)
        int mode = 0;
        int elements = 0;
        int tempMode = list[0];
        int temp = 1;
        int x;
        for (x = 1; x < list.length; x++)
            if (list[x - 1] == list[x])
                temp++;
            else
                if (temp > elements)
                    tempMode = list[x - 1];
                    elements = temp;
                    temp = 1;
                else
                    temp = 1;
        if (temp > elements)
            tempMode = list[x - 1];
        mode = tempMode;
        return mode;
