Matplotlib - Real-World Visualization Patterns

Which of the following is the correct syntax to create a 2x3 grid of subplots using matplotlib?

Afig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 3)

Bfig, axs = plt.subplots(3, 2)

Cfig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 2)

Dfig, axs = plt.subplots(3)

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand plt.subplots() parameters
The first parameter is number of rows, second is columns. So (2, 3) means 2 rows and 3 columns.
Step 2: Check options
fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 3) matches 2 rows and 3 columns. fig, axs = plt.subplots(3, 2) reverses rows and columns. fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 2) is 2x2 grid. fig, axs = plt.subplots(3) is invalid syntax.
Final Answer:
fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 3) -> Option A
Quick Check:
2 rows, 3 columns = A [OK]

Quick Trick: Rows first, columns second in plt.subplots() [OK]
