# --description--
Given an array of elements, return the element that appears most frequently.
- There will always be a single most frequent element.
# --hints--
`most_frequent(["a", "b", "a", "c"])` should return `"a"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(most_frequent(["a", "b", "a", "c"]), "a")`)
}})
```
`most_frequent([2, 3, 5, 2, 6, 3, 2, 7, 2, 9])` should return `2`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(most_frequent([2, 3, 5, 2, 6, 3, 2, 7, 2, 9]), 2)`)
}})
```
`most_frequent([True, False, "False", "True", False])` should return `False`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertIs(most_frequent([True, False, "False", "True", False]), False)`)
}})
```
`most_frequent([40, 20, 70, 30, 10, 40, 10, 50, 40, 60])` should return `40`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(most_frequent([40, 20, 70, 30, 10, 40, 10, 50, 40, 60]), 40)`)
}})
```
