How to count different number in a column and print that value?

I have data like this..

0.493
0.493
0.500
0.500
0.702
0.702
0.702
0.702
0.800
0.800
0.866
0.866
0.866
0.866
0.866
0.866

The frequency(the number of same patern) of the number is not known to me. I want to extract the below information

0.493 3
0.500 2
0.702 4
0.800 2
0.866 6

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Linux has a command which does just that (output column order is reversed from your example).

See...

Code:
man uniq
