python finding mode of a list

import random
numbers = []
limit = int(input("Please enter how many numbers you would like to compare:n"))
mode =0
for i in range(0,limit):
    numbers.append(random.randint(1,10))

maxiumNum = max(numbers)
j = maxiumNum + 1
count = [0]*j
for i in range(j):
    count[i]=0

for i in range(limit):
    count[numbers[i]] +=1

n = count[0] 
for i in range(1, j):
    if (count[i] > n):
        n = count[i] 
        mode = i  

print("This is the mode = "+str(mode))
print("This is the array = "+str(numbers))

my_mode() python

>>> from collections import Counter

>>> def my_mode(sample):
...     c = Counter(sample)
...     return [k for k, v in c.items() if v == c.most_common(1)[0][1]]
...

>>> my_mode(["male", "male", "female", "male"])
['male']

>>> my_mode(["few", "few", "many", "some", "many"])
['few', 'many']

>>> my_mode([4, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5])
[2]

>>> my_mode([4, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 4])
[4, 2]
