A histogram is a multi-value counter which summarizes the distribution of one or more data points.
For example, a histogram may have 3 counters which count the occurrences of negative, positive, and zero values respectively.
Given a series of numbers, `3`, `-9`, `7`, `6`, `0`, and `-1`, the histogram would count `2` negative, `1` zero, and `3` positive values.
