+    Counts the number of occurrences of each element in ``x``.
+
+    .. admonition:: Data-dependent output shape
+        :class: important
+
+        The shape of the output array for this function depends on the data values in ``x``; hence, array libraries which build computation graphs (e.g., JAX, Dask, etc.) can find this function difficult to implement without knowing the values in ``x``. Accordingly, such libraries **may** choose to omit this function. See :ref:`data-dependent-output-shapes` section for more details.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    x: array
+        input array. **Should** be a one-dimensional array. **Must** have an integer data type.
+    weights: Optional[array]
+        an array of weights for each element in ``x``. **Must** have the same shape as ``x``. **Must** have a numeric data type. If not provided, each bin in the returned array **must** give the number of occurrences of its index value in ``x``. If provided, each bin in the returned array **must** be a sum of the weights corresponding to the respective index values in ``x`` (i.e., if value ``n`` is found at index ``i`` in ``x``, then ``out[n] += weights[i]``, instead of ``out[n] += 1``). Default: ``None``.
+    minlength: int
+        minimum number of bins. **Must** be a nonnegative integer. Default: ``0``.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    out: array
+        an array containing the number of occurrences. Let ``N`` equal ``max(xp.max(x)+1, minlength)``. The returned array **should** have shape ``(N,)``.
+
+        If ``weights`` is not ``None``, the returned array **must** have the same data type as ``weights``.
+
+        If ``weights`` is ``None``, the returned array **must** have the same data type as ``x``, unless ``x`` has an integer data type supporting a smaller range of values than the default integer data type (e.g., ``x`` has an ``int16`` or ``uint32`` data type and the default integer data type is ``int64``). In those latter cases:
+
+        -   if ``x`` has a signed integer data type (e.g., ``int16``), the returned array **must** have the default integer data type.
+        -   if ``x`` has an unsigned integer data type (e.g., ``uint16``), the returned array **must** have an unsigned integer data type having the same number of bits as the default integer data type (e.g., if the default integer data type is ``int32``, the returned array **must** have a ``uint32`` data type).
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+
+    -   If ``x`` contains negative values, behavior is unspecified and thus implementation-defined.
