Let's change this to input_list to be more Pythonic as discussed in CONTRIBUTING.md.

"""
This function returns the mode(Mode as in the measures of central tendency) of the input data.

>>>mode([2,3,4,5,3,4,2,5,2,2,4,2,2,2])

There needs to be a space between >>> and mode( or the test will not run.

Put this line above the doctest (and Capitalize the first letter).

Let's add another test...

>>> input_list = [2,3,4,5,3,4,2,5,2,2,4,2,2,2]
>>> mode(input_list)
2
>>> import statistics
>>> mode(input_list) == statistics.mode(input_list)
True

"""
checklist = inputlist.copy() #Copying inputlist to check with the index number later.
result = list() #Empty list to store the counts of elements in inputlist
for x in inputlist:
result.append(inputlist.count(x))
inputlist.remove(x)
y=max(result) #Gets the maximum value in the result list.
return checklist[result.index(y)] #Returns the value with the maximum number of repetitions.
data=[1,2,4,3,1,6,4,2,5,1,1,2,3]
print(mode(data))
