I like the dot product idea for the indices.

To the second, actually, I need to increment the number of times the index
is there.  For example, if b=[1,5,6,6,6,9], then a[6-1] would have to be
incremented by +3 = +1+1+1.  I tried simply a[b-1]+=1, but it seems to only
increment values once, even if there are more than one occurrence of the
index in "b".  What to do about that?

Thanks,
Ian
