Matplotlib Bar Chart: Display a horizontal bar chart of the popularity of programming Languages

Matplotlib Bar Chart: Exercise-2 with Solution

Write a Python programming to display a horizontal bar chart of the popularity of programming Languages.

Sample data:
Programming languages: Java, Python, PHP, JavaScript, C#, C++
Popularity: 22.2, 17.6, 8.8, 8, 7.7, 6.7

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = ['Java', 'Python', 'PHP', 'JS', 'C#', 'C++']
popularity = [22.2, 17.6, 8.8, 8, 7.7, 6.7]
x_pos = [i for i, _ in enumerate(x)]
plt.barh(x_pos, popularity, color='green')
plt.xlabel("Popularity")
plt.ylabel("Languages")
plt.title("PopularitY of Programming Language\n" + "Worldwide, Oct 2017 compared to a year ago")
plt.yticks(x_pos, x)
# Turn on the grid
plt.minorticks_on()
plt.grid(which='major', linestyle='-', linewidth='0.5', color='red')
# Customize the minor grid
plt.grid(which='minor', linestyle=':', linewidth='0.5', color='black')
plt.show()

Sample Output:
