Find longest occurrence of same number in array

Question

Using JavaScript, I\'m trying to find a way to find the longest occurrence of the same number (in this case, 1) in an array.

For instance, here\'s a sample array:

Answer 1

My proposal:

function getLongestRow(inputArray) {
    // Initialize dummy variables
    var start = inputArray[0], curRowLen = 0, maxRowLen = 0, maxRowEle = 0;

    // Run through the array
    for(var i = 0;i < inputArray.length;i++) {
        // If current Element does not belong to current row
        if(inputArray[i] != start) {
            // If current row is longer than previous rows, save as new longest row
            if(curRowLen > maxRowLen) {
                maxRowLen = curRowLen;
                maxRowEle = start;
                curRowLen = 1;
            }
            // Start new row
            start = inputArray[i];
        } else {
            // Current element does belongt to current row, increase length
            curRowLen++;
        }
    }

    // Check whether last row was longer than previous rows
    if(curRowLen > maxRowLen) {
        maxRowLen = curRowLen;
        maxRowEle = start;
    }

    // Return longest row & element longest row consits of
    console.log('The longest row in your array consists of '+maxRowLen+' elements of '+maxRowEle+'.');
}
