### Description

Function to compute array of bin counts for a data vector

### Usage

### Arguments

`x` | (input) data vector
`ab` | (input vector of length 2): half-open interval for bins [a,b). If no value is specified, the range of x is stretched by 5% at each end and used the interval.

### Examples

    x <- rnorm(100)         # data vector
    ab <- c(-5,5)           # bin interval
    bins <- bin1(x,ab,10)     # bin x into 10 bins over ab
