          Loop over each element in a table and keep track on the number of occurrences in another table where each value of vIndex being a key. Then loop over the second table to find the element with the max value. This will be your most frequent vIndex.

            Loop over each element in a table and keep track on the number of occurrences in another table where each value of vIndex being a key. Then loop over the second table to find the element with the max value. This will be your most frequent vIndex.
