[R] How to find position in bin-data?

[Antje Niederlein]

Hi there,

probably there is a very simple solution, but I cannot think of one...

I have a vector with values:

data <- c(1,6,3,4,8,4,2,9)

and I have a vector with bin breaks:

bins <- c(1,3,5,7,9,11)

Now, I'd like to get for each data point the index of the bin-vector
where the value falls in (or equals the lower bin break).

In the example case, I'd like to get:

c(1,3,2,2,4,1,5)

How would you solve it?
