Exploding slices in Matplotlib - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to create a pie chart with one slice exploded.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sizes = [30, 20, 50]
explode = [[1], 0, 0]
plt.pie(sizes, explode=explode)
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A1

B0.1

CTrue

DNone

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using True instead of a float value.

Using 1 which explodes the slice too far.

Using None which causes an error.

The explode list controls how far each slice is offset from the center. Using 0.1 for the first slice explodes it slightly.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to explode the second slice in the pie chart.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sizes = [10, 40, 50]
explode = [0, [1], 0]
plt.pie(sizes, explode=explode)
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A0.2

B0

C1

DTrue

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 0 which does not explode the slice.

Using True which is not a valid float.

Using 1 which explodes the slice too far.

Setting the second value in explode to 0.2 offsets the second slice slightly from the center.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the explode list to correctly explode the third slice.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sizes = [25, 25, 50]
explode = [0, 0, [1]]
plt.pie(sizes, explode=explode)
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

ATrue

B'0.3'

C0.3

DNone

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a string like '0.3' which causes a type error.

Using True which is not a valid float.

Using None which causes an error.

The explode value must be a float, not a string or boolean. 0.3 correctly explodes the third slice.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to explode the first and third slices in the pie chart.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sizes = [15, 35, 50]
explode = [[1], 0, [2]]
plt.pie(sizes, explode=explode)
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A0.15

B0

C0.25

D1

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 0 which does not explode the slice.

Using 1 which explodes the slice too far.

Using 0.15 and 0.25 explodes the first and third slices slightly and moderately, respectively.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to explode the first and third slices and set labels for the pie chart.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sizes = [20, 30, 50]
labels = [[1], 'B', [2]]
explode = [[3], 0, 0]
plt.pie(sizes, labels=labels, explode=explode)
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'A'

B'C'

C0.1

D'D'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using numbers instead of strings for labels.

Not exploding any slice by using 0.

Using incorrect label names.

Labels 'A' and 'C' are set for the first and third slices. Exploding the first slice by 0.1 offsets it slightly.
