# creating the dataset 
data = {'C':20, 'C++':15, 'Java':30,  
        'Python':35} 
courses = list(data.keys()) 
values = list(data.values()) 
   

fig = plt.figure(figsize = (5, 5))

students = [23,17,35,29,12]
ax.bar(langs,students)
plt.show()

Example 3: matplotlib bar chart

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Create a Simple Bar Plot of Three People's Ages

# Create a List of Labels for x-axis
names = ["Brad", "Bill", "Bob"]

# Create a List of Values (Same Length as Names List)
ages = [9, 5, 10]

# Make the Chart
plt.bar(names, ages)

# Show the Chart
plt.show()
