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))

如果它们是不可哈希的，您可以对它们进行排序，并对结果进行一次循环，以计数项(相同的项将彼此相邻)。但是使它们可哈希并使用字典可能更快。

def most_common(lst):
    cur_length = 0
    max_length = 0
    cur_i = 0
    max_i = 0
    cur_item = None
    max_item = None
    for i, item in sorted(enumerate(lst), key=lambda x: x[1]):
        if cur_item is None or cur_item != item:
            if cur_length > max_length or (cur_length == max_length and cur_i < max_i):
                max_length = cur_length
                max_i = cur_i
                max_item = cur_item
            cur_length = 1
            cur_i = i
            cur_item = item
        else:
            cur_length += 1
    if cur_length > max_length or (cur_length == max_length and cur_i < max_i):
        return cur_item
    return max_item

对列表的一个副本排序并找到运行时间最长的。您可以在用每个元素的索引对列表排序之前对其进行修饰，然后在并列的情况下选择从最低索引开始的运行。

numbers = [1, 3, 7, 4, 3, 0, 3, 6, 3]
max_repeat_num = max(numbers, key=numbers.count)     *# which number most* frequently
max_repeat = numbers.count(max_repeat_num)           *#how many times*
print(f" the number {max_repeat_num} is repeated{max_repeat} times")

def mostCommonElement(list):
  count = {} // dict holder
  max = 0 // keep track of the count by key
  result = None // holder when count is greater than max
  for i in list:
    if i not in count:
      count[i] = 1
    else:
      count[i] += 1
    if count[i] > max:
      max = count[i]
      result = i
  return result

主要组合(“a”、“b”、“a”、“c”)->“a”

我在最近的一个项目中需要这样做。我承认，我无法理解Alex的回答，所以这就是我最后得到的答案。

def mostPopular(l):
    mpEl=None
    mpIndex=0
    mpCount=0
    curEl=None
    curCount=0
    for i, el in sorted(enumerate(l), key=lambda x: (x[1], x[0]), reverse=True):
        curCount=curCount+1 if el==curEl else 1
        curEl=el
        if curCount>mpCount \
        or (curCount==mpCount and i<mpIndex):
            mpEl=curEl
            mpIndex=i
            mpCount=curCount
    return mpEl, mpCount, mpIndex

我根据Alex的解决方案计时，对于短列表，它要快10-15%，但一旦超过100个或更多元素(测试多达20万个)，它就会慢20%。
