  17. Hello.  I am trying to write up a program that takes a list of values and
  18. counts their frequency of occurence (like a word count, but with
  19. numbers).  (I'll eventually make a histogram out of the results.)  For
  20. example, given the following output
  21.  
  22. 1
  23. 2
  24. 1
  25. 3
  26. 10
  27. 100
  28.  
  29. I'd like the following output
  30.  
  31. value    n
  32. 1        2
  33. 2        1
  34. 3        1
  35. 10       1
  36. 100      1
  37.  
  38. Is there something in the program library?  I fished around but came up
  39. with nothing.
  40.  
  41. Thanks in advance.
  42.  
  43. Cheers,
  44. Stuart Robinson
