help(plt.hist)

Help on function hist in module matplotlib.pyplot:


hist(x, bins=None, range=None, density=False, weights=None,
cumulative=False, bottom=None, histtype='bar', align='mid',
orientation='vertical', rwidth=None, log=False, color=None,
label=None, stacked=False, *, data=None, **kwargs)
Plot a histogram.

Compute and draw the histogram of *x*. The return value is a


tuple (*n*, *bins*, *patches*) or ([*n0*, *n1*, ...],
*bins*, [*patches0*, *patches1*, ...]) if the input contains
multiple data.
Matplotlib example
values = [0,0.6,1.4,1.6,2.2,2.5,2.6,3.2,3.5,3.9,4.2,6]
plt.hist(values, bins=3)
