function birthdayCakeCandles($ar)
{
    $maxi = max($ar);
    $count = 0;
    for ($i = 0;$i < count($ar);$i++)
    {
        if ($ar[$i] == $maxi)
        {
            $count++;
        }

    }
    return $count;
}

$fptr = fopen(getenv("OUTPUT_PATH") , "w");

$stdin = fopen("php://stdin", "r");

fscanf($stdin, "%d\n", $ar_count);

fscanf($stdin, "%[^\n]", $ar_temp);

$ar = array_map('intval', preg_split('/ /', $ar_temp, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY));

$result = birthdayCakeCandles($ar);

fwrite($fptr, $result . "\n");

fclose($stdin);
fclose($fptr);
