                       TALLY MARK

Tally marks, also known as hash marks, are a simple way to represent numbers using a unary numeral system. They are commonly used for quick counting and recording data, especially in situations where a visual representation of quantity is helpful, like keeping track of scores or votes. 

How Tally Marks Work:

Each tally mark ( | ) represents a count of one. 

Groups of five tally marks are typically used: four vertical lines followed by a diagonal line crossing through them ( <s>||||</s> ). 

This grouping makes it easy to count by fives, which can speed up the tallying process. 

Uses of Tally Marks:

Counting: Tally marks are a fundamental way to count and record quantities. 

Frequency: They can be used to track how often something occurs, such as the frequency of different responses in a survey. 

Data Organization: Tally charts, which use tally marks, help organize and visualize data, making it easier to analyze. 

Scoring: They are commonly used in games and sports to keep track of scores. 

Inventory: Tally marks can be used to keep track of inventory or the number of items in a stock.
