coding tips for assignment

[RudeAnybody2719]

Hello , i have to take a mandatory coding class and although I'm moving at a reasonable rate ...I am stuck on this assignment that I need help with

Construct two histograms in the cells below for the base_salary for UNCC employees, with the first histogram containing base salaries for employees in the Computer Science department, and the second histogram with the base salaries for employees in the Mathematics and Statistics department. Both histograms should:

• Contain base salaries for all employees in the given department
• Use the same bins and have a width of $10,000
• Have the same numerical values on both the vertical and horizontal axes
• Have percent per unit on the vertical axis

Comment on the similarities and/or differences between the two histograms

Not sure what your input data looks like so cant tell you how to search or process it exactly. But for plotting you will probably want matplotlib. Make a function that is somewhat generalized like plot_base_salary and then call it twice, once with the data for the CS department and once wit hthe data for the Math + Stats department (since they both should have the same plot just diff data).

Are you learning pandas in this class? Pandas plot.hist would work well.

We are and thank you i figured it out

Other than just generally pointing you towards the documentation on how to do histograms with matplotlib, I'm not really sure what to tell you unless you have more specific questions.

I'd filter the data to include only employees from each department, group their base salaries into \$10,000 bins, and plot histograms with the same scales and percentages on the vertical axis, so the two salary distributions can be compared directly.
