Returns the most frequent element in a list.
|
|
|
|
- Use `set()` to get the unique values in `lst`.
|
|
- Use `max()` to find the element that has the most appearances.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def most_frequent(lst):
|
|
return max(set(lst), key = lst.count)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
most_frequent([1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 4, 2]) #2
|
|
```
