Create a well-formatted stem-and-leaf plot from the following data set:
XXX provide some sample data (2-3 digit integers (to avoid discussing rounding) with an interesting distribution)
For general programming languages, take the data set as a list/array of integers, sort it and convert it into the stem-and-leaf structure. For document languages [such as LaTeX, HTML, etc. -- delete this note once such examples are present], present the plot with appropriate layout, spacing, and vertical line; the sorting/grouping of the data values may be hardcoded. Examples may use a programming language to generate output in a document language, or use a graphics toolkit, or any other interesting and practical approach to the result.
The output should, if possible, not be a bitmap image. Monospaced plain text is acceptable.
