Count number of elements in y-axis that correspond to a range of elements in x-axis

Good day,

Please I have a challenge. am working on image processing. I plotted Distance against Time data. I would like to count the number of elements (Distance values) in y-axis that falls within each minute (0 to 1, 1 to 2, 2 to 3 mins and so on) on the x-axis

I know i can use indext = find (Time==1); ypoint=Distance(index) to get the correpsnding element on the y-axis. But this doesnt give me the elements in y-axis that correspnt to 0 to 1min nor to use numel to count the elements.

Can someone help me on this please?

Alex, can you put that as an answer (with maybe a bit more details)?

Using histcounts:

If you have:

x % -> time
y % -> distances

edges = 0:maxTime; % Define de edges you want to define the bins
[N,~,bin] = histcounts(x,edges) 
%where N gives the number of elements in each bin
%and bin gives in which bin is each element of x (or y...)

Thanks a million Alex. That's all i needed.
