What will be the output of this code?
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
before = [3, 5]
after = [4, 6]
plt.bar([1, 2], before, width=0.4)
plt.bar([1.5, 2.5], after, width=0.4)
plt.show()
ATwo sets of bars side-by-side with slight overlap
BBars completely overlapping each other
CA line plot of before and after data
DScatter plot of before vs after
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Analyze bar positions and widths

    Bars at x=[1,2] and x=[1.5,2.5] with width=0.4 will be close but slightly overlapping.
  2. Step 2: Understand plot type

    plt.bar() creates bar charts, so output is side-by-side bars with slight overlap.
  3. Final Answer:

    Two sets of bars side-by-side with slight overlap -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Bar positions + width = side-by-side with overlap [OK]
Quick Trick: Bar width and x positions control overlap [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming bars do not overlap
  • Confusing bar plot with line or scatter plot
  • Ignoring bar width effect
