Get the element with the highest occurrence in an array

Question

I\'m looking for an elegant way of determining which element has the highest occurrence (mode) in a JavaScript array.

For example, in

[\'pear\', \'a         


        

Answer 1

This solution can return multiple elements of an array in case of a tie. For example, an array

arr = [ 3, 4, 3, 6, 4, ];

has two mode values: 3 and 6.

Here is the solution.

function find_mode(arr) {
    var max = 0;
    var maxarr = [];
    var counter = [];
    var maxarr = [];

    arr.forEach(function(){
       counter.push(0);
    });

    for(var i = 0;i max) {
              max = arr[len];
              }
      }
  return max;
 };

 function onlyUnique(value, index, self) {
       return self.indexOf(value) === index;
 }
