I have an array where I record hits 
  a=np.zeros(5)  
 and an array with the indices of the hits, for example I have 2 hits on index 2 
  hits=np.array([2,2])  
 so I want to increase index 2 of a by 2 
   
 I tried: 
  a[hits]+=1  
 but it gives array([ 0., 0., 1., 0., 0.]) 
 does someone have a suggestion? 
  bins=np.bincount(hits) 
 a[:len(bins)] += bins 
 a 
 array([ 0., 0., 2., 0., 0.])
