# Written with the aid of OpenAI Codex | |
# Implements a histogram and draws each bar with proportional number of '*' | |
# | |
# Example Usage: | |
# | |
# data = [] | |
# for i in range(0,10): | |
# data.append(random.uniform(-3.4, 6.7)) | |
# minVal = min(data) | |
# maxVal = max(data) | |
# numBins = 10 | |
# maxGlyphs = 20 | |
# histogram = Histogram( minVal, maxVal, numBins, maxGlyphs ) | |
# | |
# for i in range(0,10): | |
# histogram.add(data[i]) | |
# | |
# print(histogram) | |
# | |
