Create a well-formatted stem-and-leaf plot from the following data set:
110 436 124 109 440 330 53 352 315 452 54 49 334 102 432 123 442 125 97 104 11 446 123 360 324 427 451 329 139 42 324 320 450 100 87 414 305 21 375 324 360 123 33 378 37 66 41 321 68 356 407 448 5 128 81 361 419 134 147 146
The primary intent of this task is the presentation of information. It is acceptable to hardcode the data set or characteristics of it (such as what the stems are) in the example, insofar as it is impractical to make the example generic to any data set. For example, in a computation-less language like HTML the data set may be entirely prearranged within the example; the interesting characteristics are how the proper visual formatting is arranged.
If possible, the output should not be a bitmap image. Monospaced plain text is acceptable.
