[R] table function

[Erik Iverson]

You need to create a factor that indicates which group the values in 'z' belong to.  The easiest way to do that based on your situation is to use the 'cut' function to construct the factor, and then call 'table' using the result created by 'cut'.  See ?cut and ?factor
