→Most of these are buggy
Line 46:
::::: "fractionally larger bins" is the Tcl approach I discussed in the section above. It's fine but requires careful selection of the denominator. Too big, and the bins are wider than they need to be (Tcl's mistake); too small, and it can be erased by fp errors.
::::: edit: the relationship between the value of <code>breaks</code> and the number of bins in R is completely opaque and does not match the documentation. For example, <code>hist(0:9, breaks=x)</code> gives 2 bins for x=3; 5 bins for x=4,5,6; 9 bins for x=7.
::::: edit2: I should clarify that Haskell's solution exhibits the half-width bug. I don't believe this is defensible. Much better choices of denominator are available. --Oopsiedaisy, 26 February 2019
