Hi !
I have a rather simple mma - question:
What is the best (fastest) way to generate histograms ?
That is: I have a list of data and I want to fill the data
into another list which elements are zero at the beginning
and are incramanted by one if the data is in the interval 
corresponding to the respective element of the second list
which is just the histogram.
I can use a Do[] but this seems clumsy:
hist={0,0,0, .... };
Do[
  ind=myindexfunction[data[[i]]]; hist[[ind]]=hist[[ind]]+1,
{i,1,Length[data]}]

Thanks a lot !
Michael
