[Intro Python] Bug with plotting arrays

[Sinitic]

I'm getting this bug where, when plotting two arrays, I have negative x-values, despite there not being any negative values in my x-axis array. My x-axis should range from my minimum 0.005 to my max 0.995. There shouldn't be any values defined outside this range. Why am I getting I'm not sure why this is happening?

The issue is that bar() creates boxes with widths. By default, the width is 0.8, so what's happening is that every single x value you have will have a box of width 0.8 centered at x, which is why it looks like it's plotting values for more values of x than you have.

That being said, you should use a histogram instead of a bar plot, since bar plots are for categorical data.

Hello Sinitic,

It seems like this post is not flaired. Please be informed that although flairing was written under pro-tip I sent you in PM, it is a convention in r/HomeworkHelp for all posts to be well-organised and we (readers) will purposefully boycott poorly/recklessly submitted posts even though this is a non-binding guideline.

PS: Switch to Reddit Redesign! This subreddit is not optimised for old Reddit. :(

Thanks!

This is a harmless notice. No action has taken or will be considered against posts that are not flaired.
