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

// O(n)
var arr = [1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6];
var duplicates = {};
max = '';
maxi = 0;
arr.forEach((el) => {
    duplicates[el] = duplicates[el] + 1 || 1;
  if (maxi < duplicates[el]) {
    max = el;
    maxi = duplicates[el];
  }
});
console.log(max);
