以Luiz的回答为基础，但满足“在抽取索引最低的项目时应返回”的条件:

from statistics import mode, StatisticsError

def most_common(l):
    try:
        return mode(l)
    except StatisticsError as e:
        # will only return the first element if no unique mode found
        if 'no unique mode' in e.args[0]:
            return l[0]
        # this is for "StatisticsError: no mode for empty data"
        # after calling mode([])
        raise

例子:

>>> most_common(['a', 'b', 'b'])
'b'
>>> most_common([1, 2])
1
>>> most_common([])
StatisticsError: no mode for empty data

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))

简单的一行代码:

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

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”

def popular(L):
C={}
for a in L:
    C[a]=L.count(a)
for b in C.keys():
    if C[b]==max(C.values()):
        return b
L=[2,3,5,3,6,3,6,3,6,3,7,467,4,7,4]
print popular(L)

在这里:

def most_common(l):
    max = 0
    maxitem = None
    for x in set(l):
        count =  l.count(x)
        if count > max:
            max = count
            maxitem = x
    return maxitem

我有一种模糊的感觉，在标准库的某个地方有一个方法可以给你每个元素的计数，但我找不到它。
