bin

Format: bin( list, x1, x2, n )

Arguments: [real] list List of input data

(real) x1 Lower limit

(real) x2 Upper limit

(int) n Number of bins

Returns: [any] A list of n elements representing the number of items in the input list that fall into each of n evenly spaced ranges

Description: Bin divides the range between x1 and x2 into n evenly spaced ranges. Bin then counts the number of elements in the input list that fall into each of these ranges. The information created by bin can be used to create histograms showing the dispersion of input data.

Examples: graph(bin(x,0,1,10)) = Creates a histogram of the data in x using 10 bins that cover the range 0 to 1
