Mathematica: Extracting histogram information

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on extracting histogram information using Mathematica, specifically through the use of the Histogram function and the bincounts method. The user successfully utilized bincounts to determine the number of entries in each bin of a histogram generated from random real numbers. Additionally, they manually calculated the average value represented by each bin. This approach effectively allows for the retrieval of essential histogram data.

Hi

I have a histogram of some numbers following a PDF, such as
Code: 
Histogram[RandomReal[1, 100]]
What I want is to extract the information contained in this histogram in a list, i.e. get a list of the bin value (e.g. the average value it represents) and the number of entries in it. Is using bincounts the easiest way to obtain the number of entries? Then I guess I can manually find the average value of the bin.

I have succesfully used bincounts, and then manually found the average bin-value. So all OK!Niles.
