c++ computer programming question 2.please help!?

Question

Write a function with int* argument a and int arguments length and x which returns the number of elements x in the memory block a.
The following sample tasks may help:

sample task 1
write a function with a const char* arguments, an int argument length and a character argument c,which which returns the number of characters c in s


int count(const char* s, int length, char c)
{
int i, cnt;
for(i=0, cnt=0; i< length; ++i)
if(*(s + 1) == c)
++cnt;
return cnt;
}


sample task 2:
write a function with int* argument a and int argument length which reurns the maximum element in the memory block a

int max_element(int* a, int length)
{
int i, max;
for (max = *a, i=1; i if(max< *(a+i))
max= *(a+i);
return max;
}

Answer 1

int countIt(int* a, int length, int x)
{
int finds =0;
int i;
for (i=0; i if(x == *a) {
finds++;
}
return finds;
}
