Question

Proceeding from this post on histogramming, is there a way to override the histogram function to add the numbers instead of counting them?
For eg: ls=(0.3,1.4,1.6,2.3,3.2,4.7) in intervals of 2 gives [1.7,3.6,7.9]
Just a curiosity!

Thank you.

You can use the weights argument to histogram (official documentation for numpy.histogram). If I’ve understood you correctly, you can do numpy.histogram(ls,bins=(0,2,4,6),weights=ls), though that doesn’t give the result you stated (maybe you are using a different starting point for the bins?).
