[R] How to count numbers of a vector and use them as index values?

[Paul Menzel]

Dear R folks,


I am sorry to ask this simple question, but my search for the right
way/command was unsuccessful.

I have a vector

> x <- c(2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 6)

Now the values of x should be considered the index of another vector
with possible greater length, say 8, and the value should be how often
the indexes appeared in the original vector x.

> length(result)
 [1] 8
> result
 [1] 0 2 2 1 0 1 0 0


Thank you in advance,

Paul
