Hello,

I am struggling with a way to create bins for a variable containing
length data. I would like to create 10cm bins from 0 to the maximum
length. I would then like to plot count data as a histogram by these
length bins.

the data look like this:
length count
12 1
13 5
22 2
24 1
26 3
720 2

thank you for any suggestions!

You can easily create bins of any size with the mod function. This example
creates 10 cm bins, but to create 5 cm bins change 10 to 5, etc.

length_bin=length - mod(length,10);
