#include<stdio.h>
#define constant-999

int main()
{
 int num, count;

 printf("Enter a list of integers (-999 to stop) : ");
 while(scanf("%d", &num) != -999)

With a text editor.

Notepad++ is quite nice, but really anything will do.

I agree with Steven's comment but as a hint, since you need to count occurrences you'll need to iterate through the entire thing anyway.

A simple solution is to declare an array of numeric counts and using the number read as the index. You may have to offset the index if you deal with negative numbers:

unsigned int number_counts[1000] = {0};

//...

number_counts[num]++;

// or 
number_counts[num + 500]++;

If you are using a linked list, add a count field and increment that.
