creating histogram bins in r

I have this code.

a = c("a", 1)
b = c("b",2)
c = c('c',3)
d = c('d',4)
e = c('e',5)
z = data.frame(a,b,c,d,e)
hist = hist(as.numeric(z[2,]))

I am trying to have a histogram such that the bins would be a,b,c,d,e

and the freq values would be 1,2,3,4,5.

However, it gives me an empty screen(no bins at all for histogram model)

Perhaps this would work for you: it creates a data frame with the x elements being the letters a through 'e', and the y elements being the numbers 1 through 5. It then renders a histogram and tells ggplot not to perform any binning. 

library(ggplot2)
tmp <- data.frame(x = letters[1:5], y = 1:5)
ggplot(tmp, aes(x = x, y = y)) + geom_histogram(stat = "identity")

You are plotting the factor levels of each column for row 2, which is in this case always 1.

When creating the dataframe you add stringsAsFactors=FALSE to avoid converting the numbers to factors. This should work:

z = data.frame(a,b,c,d,e,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
hist(as.numeric(z[2,]))
