Why does the output stay 0 and -1, regardless the input?

Question

I'm new to java and im trying to write a program that gets an undefined amount of integers and tells you the longest order of the same integer.

public class Search{
  public static void main(String args[]){


    int order[] = new int[args.length];
    for(int i = 0;i < args.length;i++){        //Input into array
      order[i] = Integer.parseInt(args[i]);
    }
    int count = 0;
    int temp_count = 0;
    int pos = -1;
    int temp_pos = -1;
    boolean search = false;

    for(int i = 1; i < args.length;i++){
      if(order[i-1] != order[i]){
        temp_count = 1;                    //line of the same integers?
        search = true;
        temp_pos++;
      } else if(search && order[i-1] == order[i]){ // How long is the line?
          temp_count++;
      } else if(search && order[i-1] != order[i]){ // Does the line end?
          if (temp_count > count){
            count = temp_count;             // Update old length and position
            pos = temp_pos;
          }
          search = false;
      }
    }
    System.out.println("length: " + count);    //output
    System.out.println("position " + pos);
  }
}

The output is 0 and -1 , what should only be the case if there is no order of the same integers.

In your if statement you are checking twice the same condition in the if and in the else if.
And this condition will never happen:

} else if(search && order[i-1] != order[i]){ 

In this way all variables remain count = 0; and pos = -1;

  if(order[i-1] != order[i]){
    //...
  } else if(search && order[i-1] != order[i]){ 
    // never run!! 
    //...
    count = temp_count;     
    pos = temp_pos;  
  }
