I have a program in windows phone that calculate no of steps and aldo no of jummping I use this algorithm to create the app but It doesn't work perfect can any one help me with a better code or any modification to this code
thanx in advance

C#

if(M>=2)
           {
               if(magnitude==true)
               {
                   count = count + 1;
                   magnitude = false;

               }
               else
               {
                   magnitude = true;
               }

               if (IsWalking)
               {
                   TextBlock_CountStep_Center.Text = (count*2).ToString();
                   TextBlock_CounterStep_Cornner.Text =( count*2).ToString();

               }
               if (IsJumping)
               {
                   TextBlock_CountStep_Center.Text = (count / 2).ToString();
                   TextBlock_CounterStep_Cornner.Text = (count / 2).ToString();
               }
           }

This isn't an algorithm for calculating much of anything. We have no idea what "count" is and where you're getting your data from or what it represents.

You also have said anything about what's wrong with this code and it what way you want this improved so there's little to nothing anyone can tell you that's going to be of any use.

I get my data from accelerometer and m represnets magnitude

How are we to know what it is that you mean by "doesn't work perfect" unless you tell us?

Some times it count the steps perfect and in the other time it doesn't gave me true data ( no of steps )

Ever stop and think that it does not have anything to do with your code at all and has everything to do with the hardware?
