[R] Histogram problem

[Petr PIKAL]

Hi

R does what you said to it it shall do! 

Without  **reproducible** code and explanation what you did, what you get 
and what you **expect** to get it would be quite complicated task to 
understand what your code actually do.

e.g. this

> >         {Num[j] = Num[j] + 1}
> >     }

add 1 to Num[j] each time when SPXdf[i,2] < Bins[j] but without real 
numbers and understanding why you can not use hist and are making your own 
histogram function it is hard to say what do you want. 
I am pretty sure you are inventing a wheel.

Regards
Petr
