Pandas: Plotting Exercise-12 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to create a plot of stock price and trading volume of Alphabet Inc. between two specific dates.

Use the alphabet_stock_data.csv file to extract data.

alphabet_stock_data:

alphabet_stock_data Table

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
df = pd.read_csv("alphabet_stock_data.csv")
start_date = pd.to_datetime('2020-4-1')
end_date = pd.to_datetime('2020-9-30')                         
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date']) 
new_df = (df['Date']>= start_date) & (df['Date']<= end_date)
df1 = df.loc[new_df]
stock_data = df1.set_index('Date')
top_plt = plt.subplot2grid((5,4), (0, 0), rowspan=3, colspan=4)
top_plt.plot(stock_data.index, stock_data["Close"])
plt.title('Historical stock prices of Alphabet Inc. [01-04-2020 to 30-09-2020]')
bottom_plt = plt.subplot2grid((5,4), (3,0), rowspan=1, colspan=4)
bottom_plt.bar(stock_data.index, stock_data['Volume'])
plt.title('\nAlphabet Inc. Trading Volume', y=-0.60)
plt.gcf().set_size_inches(12,8)
