Detect if an int repeats continuously

Question

In my iPhone application i am using Accelerometer to find the movement of the device.

using some formula I am finding a int value (P) with the x,y and z acceleration. this P value is being found in every .5 seconds.

I want to show an alert if the P value is same for continuous 4 times. How to do this.

You're taking the integer value of the acceleration data? You'll lose a majority of the data this way considering it's all stored as doubles. — Mick MacCallum, Aug 22 '13 at 10:51

You could use a queue data structure (you can find Objective-C implementation here) with a length of 4. After enqueuing new element you should check if all elements in the queue are equal (assuming they're integers).

I have declared one more integer Q. and if P is a particular value - I am incrementing Q else making Q = 0. And when Q = 4 I am doing my stuff.
