Write the shortest program that generates a histogram (a graphical representation of the distribution of data).

Rules:

• Must generate a histogram based on the character length of the words (punctuation included) input into the program. (If a word is 4 letters long, the bar representing the number 4 increases by 1)
• Must display bar labels that correlate with the character length the bars represent.

Examples:

$ ./histogram This is a hole in one!
1 |#
2 |##
3 |
4 |###

$./histogram Extensive word length should not be very problematic.

• Must display bar labels that correlate with the character length the bars represent.
• All characters must be accepted.
• If the bars must be scaled, there needs to be some way that is shown in the histogram.

Examples:

$ ./histogram This is a hole in one!
