Finding the mode amongst a list of numbers?

[worked]

Hey there-  I need to find the mode from an array of numbers.  How might I do that?  For instance, if I have, "12, 13, 13, 13, 14, 15, 15".  13 would be the mode as it's found more often than any other number.  Any code snipets are appreciated!  Thanks!

what i would do is write a loop to go through an array [12, 13, 13, 13, 14, 15, 15] and find all the unique numbers. they will be

12, 13, 14, and 15

i would put those in another array. then run each of the unique number against the first array but only counting if the number already exist.

you could do it with a single loop.

first element - just copy to another two dimensional array({value:value,count:1})

with the next elements you search, if found, add 1 to count, if not, create a new element.

At the end, you have an array, having the unique values, and the number of theire occurance.

Now you only need to sort the two dimensional array by count, and read the highest value.

Thanks!  This project has been put on hold, but will be returning to it shortly...  I'll def refer back to your suggests when I do.

It's ok. But agree with the system shown by Ronald. I think this is the perfect one..
