Hello everyone,
I would like to count one number's occurrence
My data look like this

1252


and I would like to count how many times every number appears. I am looking for some already implemented function as I have to run this code for many data so code efficiency is really important.

I would like to thank you in advance for your help
Regards. Alex

doc hist % or histc

Alex:
You're looking for hist() or histc(), or possibly imhist().
You want to calculate the histogram of the data.

  If your data values are not necessarily integers, you can first do

 [~,~,n] = unique(data)

and then use histc on the returned vector n to get your counts.
