Find the most frequent element in all intervals

/**
 * Problem: Find the most frequent element in all intervals
Given an unsorted list of start and end time ( a range basically), find any number within all the ranges that occurs in maximum number of intervals.
Example: [[1,4],[3,5],[4,6]].
Answer should be 4 because it occurs in all the interval ranges.
