Computing mode in a 2D array involves finding the most frequently occurring element(s) within that array. It identifies which value(s) appear(s) with maximum frequency.
Think about your favorite color among your group of friends' favorite colors. If multiple people have chosen one particular color more than any other, that color becomes the mode - it is what appears most frequently.
Frequency Counting: Keeping track of how many times each element occurs within a 2D array.
Maximum Frequency: The highest count among all elements in a 2D array.
Most Frequent Element(s): The value(s) that occur with maximum frequency within a 2D array.
