Matplotlib - Real-World Visualization Patterns
Identify the error in this code that tries to create a 2x2 grid of plots:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.subplot(2, 2, 1)
plt.plot([1,2,3])
plt.subplot(2, 2, 5)
plt.plot([3,2,1])
plt.show()
AUsing subplot number 5 in a 2x2 grid causes an error
Bplt.plot() cannot be used inside subplot
CMissing plt.figure() before subplots
DNo error, code runs fine
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand subplot numbering in 2x2 grid

    2 rows and 2 columns means subplot numbers 1 to 4 only.
  2. Step 2: Check subplot number 5 usage

    Using subplot(2, 2, 5) is invalid and causes an error.
  3. Final Answer:

    Using subplot number 5 in a 2x2 grid causes an error -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Max subplot number = rows*columns = 4 [OK]
Quick Trick: Subplot number must be ≤ rowsxcolumns [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking plt.plot() can't be inside subplot
  • Believing plt.figure() is mandatory before subplots
  • Ignoring subplot numbering limits
