It would be (a lot!) easier to answer this question if you could
explain what you mean by "returning the mode out of an array of
numbers". But let me have one or two shots:

If you mean the modulus of the numbers in an array, use the
operator MOD, as in:

answer = numbers mod 5 ;; Returns array "numbers" modulo 5

If you mean the size of an array (mode out of an array, well
could be..?) try the function size().

Otherwise, please clarify.
