1. Maximum Frequency Number

Ninja is given an array of integers that contain numbers in random order. He needs to write a program to find and return the number which occurs the maximum times in the given input. He needs your help to solve this problem.

If two or more elements contend for the maximum frequency, return the element which occurs in the array first i.e. whose index is lowest.

For example,

For 'arr' = [ 1, 2, 3, 1, 2]. you need to return 1.
Problem approach

I first gave the brute force solution by sorting the array with time complexity as O(nlogn) and then optimized it by hashmap with time complexity as O(n).
He was satisfied with the solution.
