# --description--
Write a program to find the [mode](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode (statistics)> "wp: Mode (statistics)") value of a collection.
The case where the collection is empty may be ignored. Care must be taken to handle the case where the mode is non-unique.
If it is not appropriate or possible to support a general collection, use a vector (array), if possible. If it is not appropriate or possible to support an unspecified value type, use integers.
# --hints--
`mode` should be a function.
```js
assert(typeof mode === 'function');
```
`mode([1, 3, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 12, 12, 17])` should equal `[6]`
```js
assert.deepEqual(mode(arr1), [6]);
```
`mode([1, 2, 4, 4, 1])` should equal `[1, 4]`.
```js
assert.deepEqual(mode(arr2).sort(), [1, 4]);
```
# --seed--
## --after-user-code--
```js
const arr1 = [1, 3, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 12, 12, 17];
const arr2 = [1, 2, 4, 4, 1];
```
## --seed-contents--
```js
function mode(arr) {
return true;
}
```
# --solutions--
```js
function mode(arr) {
const counter = {};
let result = [];
let max = 0;
// for (const i in arr) {
arr.forEach(el => {
if (!(el in counter)) {
counter[el] = 0;
}
counter[el]++;
if (counter[el] === max) {
result.push(el);
}
else if (counter[el] > max) {
max = counter[el];
result = [el];
}
});
return result;
}
```
