Count amount of times displayed

Question

How do i make this program to be able to count the amount of time that a word is shown and multiply that number with the money for next try, then add that current total to the total amount.
Example:

Enter your total amount for betting: $200
Enter amount for your next try: $20
2 2 4
Plums
Plums
Melons

So, i want the program to now say:

Plums appeared 2 times.
2 X 20 = 40
40 + 200 = 240

Answer 1

You could make an array of the fruits the user got, then loop through the array, and if there is a copy just increase the count variable. So it would roughly look like this:

int numOfPlums = 0;
for (int x = 0; x < array.length; x++ ){
if (array[x].equals("Plums")) {
numOfPlums++;
}
}

Then just multiply numOfPlums by money.

You can also do this with every fruit type. So if you get a count of all fruits you can then get the fruit with the highest appearance in the array.
