## Details

This web application creates a stem-and-leaf plot.

A stem-and-leaf plot is a quick and handy way to visualize the spread of a dataset using only pencil and paper. The idea is to list a column of numbers, usually 0 to 9. These are the "stems". For each value in the dataset, we pair its right-most digit to the corresponding stem that matches it's left digit. For example, if we had a 76 in our dataset, we would pair it with the 7 leaf in the column of numbers from 0 to 9. We then place a 6 as the first "leaf" in that column. We repeat this process for each value in our dataset. In the end, we will get a stem-and-leaf plot like the one seen below.
