Subject:   [R] Proportions again


Hello.

I asked before and it was great, cause as a beginner I learned a lot. But, if I
have this in R (1 and 2 are codes for sex):

> sex<-c(1,2,2,1,1,2,2,2)
> sex
[1] 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 2

I´d like to obtain the proportion according to sex.So I type:

> prop.table(sex)
[1] 0.07692308 0.15384615 0.15384615 0.07692308 0.07692308 0.15384615 0.15384615
[8] 0.15384615

The result is OK, but I expected to see a simple frequency table or something
like that:

1 0.375
2 0.625
1.0

How can I get this ?

Thank you very much
