How to find most frequent element in a list with python

Question

I want to find most frequent element in a list, but my code is not working. What should I do? I'm getting

**IndentationError: unexpected indent Error

My code

A = [7, 9, 2, 7, 8, 3, 5, 7, 11, 3, 7]  
def mstfrqent(A): 
counter = 0
num = A[0] 
for i in A: 
    curr_frequency = A.count(i) 
return i
print(mstfrqent(A))

Answer 1

You should use another for loop.

Btw you should give more understandable list names, it will be more efficent for work.

A = [7, 9, 2, 7, 8, 3, 5, 7, 11, 3, 7] 

def mstfrqent(A): 
    counter = 0
    num = A[0] 

    for i in A: 
        curr_frequency = A.count(i) 
        if(curr_frequency> counter): 
            counter = curr_frequency 
            num = i 

    return num 

print(mstfrqent(A))
