+ *
+ * The frequency of an element is the number of times it occurs in an array.
+ * 
+ * You are given an integer array nums and an integer k. In one operation, you can choose an index of 
+ * nums and increment the element at that index by 1.
+ * 
+ * Return the maximum possible frequency of an element after performing at most k operations.
+ * 
+ * Example 1:
+ * 
+ * Input: nums = [1,2,4], k = 5
+ * Output: 3
+ * Explanation: Increment the first element three times and the second element two times to make nums 
+ * = [4,4,4].
+ * 4 has a frequency of 3.
+ * 
+ * Example 2:
+ * 
+ * Input: nums = [1,4,8,13], k = 5
+ * Output: 2
+ * Explanation: There are multiple optimal solutions:
+ * - Increment the first element three times to make nums = [4,4,8,13]. 4 has a frequency of 2.
+ * - Increment the second element four times to make nums = [1,8,8,13]. 8 has a frequency of 2.
+ * - Increment the third element five times to make nums = [1,4,13,13]. 13 has a frequency of 2.
+ * 
+ * Example 3:
+ * 
+ * Input: nums = [3,9,6], k = 2
+ * Output: 1
+ * 
+ * Constraints:
+ * 
+ * 	1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
+ * 	1 <= nums[i] <= 10^5
+ * 	1 <= k <= 10^5
