Alternative Methods ...

[T.Jackson]

public int getObjectsAtSameDistance()
{   
   int ObjectsSameDistance;

   // Scan thru array and see how many objs are at the same distance
   for (int j = 0, j < 2, j++)
   {
      for (int i = j + 1, i < 2, i++)
      {
         if (distances[j] == distances[i])
         {
            objectsSameDistance ++;
            break; 
         }
      }
   }

   if (objectsSameDistance > 0)
      objectsSameDistance ++;

   return objectsSameDistance;
}

There is actually a problem with this method the more I think about it. Works fine for 3 elements / variables, but what if there's say 5, whereas 3 of them = 100 and the other 2 = 50 -- which ones do we report as being the same? As is the code will return a value of 5.

The solution is limited but not flawed ...
