Write a method mode which takes an Array of numbers | |
as its input and returns an Array of the most frequent values. | |
If there's only one most-frequent value, it returns a | |
single-element Array. | |
For example, | |
mode([1,2,3,3]) # => [3] | |
mode([4.5, 0, 0]) # => [0] | |
mode([1.5, -1, 1, 1.5]) # => [1.5] | |
mode([1,1,2,2]) # => [1,2] | |
mode([1,2,3]) # => [1,2,3], because all occur with | |
equal frequency | |
def mode(array) | |
f = Hash.new(0) | |
array.each do |x| | |
f[x] += 1 | |
end | |
max = 0 | |
modes = [] | |
f.each do |key, value| | |
if value > max | |
modes = [key] | |
max = value | |
elsif value == max | |
modes.push(key) | |
end | |
end | |
modes | |
end |
