Details:

For Matlab compatibility, when the second input to hist (# of bins) is a
scalar, then the class of xx follows the class of the input y (single or
double).  For example,


[nn, xx] = hist (double (1:10), single ([7]));
class (xx) => 'double'
[nn, xx] = hist (single (1:10), double ([7]));
class (xx) => 'single'


However, when the second input is an actual vector specifying bins then the
class of xx is always the class of the second input.
