    What data type is the number stored in? String or int or long or ?
    If not String, convert it to a String and then use one of the String class's methods to look at the digits one at a time in a loop and count them.

    What should your output be for the above? The number 1 appears the most times but number 2 appears consecutively the most but according to your requirements the output should be

    ans=1
    most times=1
