How to creates a Counts[] function that includes zero?

In the following example, I'm trying to how many times each integer 1-n appears in list 'a'. But if an element did not appear in a list, Counts creates an association that returns the element instead of zero. So the result is a mixed list of counts and integers, with no indication of which you're looking at.



n = 10;
a = RandomInteger[n, n]
c = Counts[a];
Table[i /. c, {i, 1, n}]

{7, 7, 0, 7, 10, 5, 3, 0, 1, 8}
{1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 6, 3, 1, 9, 1}


Is there a way to make a Counts function that can count zero?

            Or you can use SparseArray with additive matrix assembly which may be a bit faster:



            n = 1000000;
            a = RandomInteger[n, n];
            counts = Lookup[Counts[a], Range[1, n], 0]; // AbsoluteTiming // First

            counts2 = Rest@With[{spopt = SystemOptions["SparseArrayOptions"]},
            Internal`WithLocalSettings[
            SetSystemOptions["SparseArrayOptions" -> {"TreatRepeatedEntries" -> Total}],

            SparseArray[Partition[a+1, 1] -> 1, {n+1}],

            SetSystemOptions[spopt]]
            ]; // AbsoluteTiming // First

              a = {7, 7, 0, 7, 10, 5, 3, 0, 1, 8};
              Counts[a] /@ Range[10] /. Missing -> (0 &)



              {1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 3, 1, 0, 1}




              Alternatively,



              Block[{Missing = (0 &)}, Counts[a] /@ Range[10]]
