How to find the number of pixels with intensity

1 view (last 30 days)
I'm trying to find the histogram of an image. I'm supposed to use loops to calculate it. So far, my code is
histogram = = zeros(256,1,'int16');
for j = 0 : 255
histogram(j + 1) = number of pixels with intensity j
end
The problem I'm having is that I'm not sure how to find the number of pixels with intensity j. I know that I should use either the find() or sum() function, but I don't know how to format that part of the code

One way,
histogram(j + 1) = nnz(yourImage==j);
Or,
histogram(j + 1) = sum(yourImage(:)==j);

ok thanks! I'm very new to MatLab, when I want to save the part where I did the coding, do I click "Save Workspace"?
