def most_frequent(List):

    counter = 0

    num = List[0]

 

    for i in List:

        curr_frequency = List.count(i)

        if(curr_frequency> counter):

            counter = curr_frequency

            num = i


    return num


List = [2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 3]

print(most_frequent(List))

简单的一行解决方案

moc= max([(lst.count(chr),chr) for chr in set(lst)])

它会返回频率最高的元素。

你可能不再需要这个了，但这是我对一个类似问题所做的。(因为评论，它看起来比实际要长。)

itemList = ['hi', 'hi', 'hello', 'bye']

counter = {}
maxItemCount = 0
for item in itemList:
    try:
        # Referencing this will cause a KeyError exception
        # if it doesn't already exist
        counter[item]
        # ... meaning if we get this far it didn't happen so
        # we'll increment
        counter[item] += 1
    except KeyError:
        # If we got a KeyError we need to create the
        # dictionary key
        counter[item] = 1

    # Keep overwriting maxItemCount with the latest number,
    # if it's higher than the existing itemCount
    if counter[item] > maxItemCount:
        maxItemCount = counter[item]
        mostPopularItem = item

print mostPopularItem

简单的一行代码:

def most_common(lst):
    return max(set(lst), key=lst.count)

 def most_common(lst):
    if max([lst.count(i)for i in lst]) == 1:
        return False
    else:
        return max(set(lst), key=lst.count)

你想要的在统计中被称为模式，Python当然有一个内置函数来为你做这件事:

>>> from statistics import mode
>>> mode([1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6])
3

请注意，如果没有“最常见元素”，例如前两个元素并列的情况，这将在Python上引发StatisticsError <=3.7，从3.8开始，它将返回遇到的第一个。
