Answer 1

Here is my answer.

public static int mode(int[] arr) {
    int max = 0;
    int maxFreq = 0;

    Arrays.sort(arr);
    max = arr[arr.length-1];

    int[] count = new int[max + 1];

    for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        count[arr[i]]++;
    }

     for (int i = 0; i < count.length; i++) {
        if (count[i] > maxFreq) {
            maxFreq = count[i];
        }
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < count.length; i++) {
        if (count[i] == maxFreq) {
            return i;
        }
    }
    return -1;
}
