Question

I have an array of orange, orange, green, blue, purple, pink, blue, pink

I need to display the different colors and how many of each one that I have. I know that I need to do a count but I can't seem to figure out where to place it. Here is the code for just this portion of my program that I have so far for that method.

for(int i=0;i<color.length;i++){

boolean isDistinct = false;

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

if(color[i] == color[j]){

isDistinct = true;

// int counts= new int[j]++;

// color+=i;

break;

}

}

if(!isDistinct){

// color+=i;

System.out.print(color[i]+" ");

System.out.println(" ");

}

}

I would like for my printout to display orange 3

green 1

blue 2

purple 1

pink 2

any changes needed let me know, I'll make them

public class main
{public static void main(String[] args)
{String color[]={"orange", "orange", "green", "blue", "purple", "pink", "blue", "pink"};
int count=0;
boolean[] counted=new boolean[color.length];
for(int i=0;i<counted.length;i++)
       counted[i]=false;
for(int i=0;i<color.length;i++){
boolean isDistinct = false;
     if(!counted[i])
        {isDistinct=true;
           count=1;
            counted[i]=true;
         for(int j=i+1;j<color.length;j++){
            if(color[i].equals(color[j])){
               count++;
                   counted[j]=true;
                }
                        
          }
            if(isDistinct)
                {System.out.print(color[i]+" "+count);
                System.out.println();
             }
        }
