Day 5 : Ace Matplotlib

Now that we have learned a bit about data manipulation and retrieval, we can take next step. That is to start analyzing the data we have gathered. And the easiest way for data analysis is through graph plotting. Don't worry you won't have to calculate every x and y coordinate to plot on graph because python or more specifically matplotlib will do it for us. Q.What is Matplotlib? Ans.

The best resource you need to learn matplotlib is the course that i have mentioned in
