Get the mode value


def mode(x)
  sorted = x.sort
  a = Array.new
  b = Array.new
  sorted.each do |x|
    if a.index(x)==nil
      a << x # Add to list of values
      b << # Add to list of frequencies
    else
      b[a.index(x)] += # Increment existing counter
    end
  end
  maxval = b.max           # Find highest count
  where = b.index(maxval)  # Find index of highest count
  a[where]                 # Find corresponding data value
end

data =[7,7,7,4,4,5,4,5,7,2,2,3,3,7,3,]
