144-4 Error trying to create a bar height

Q&A DQ Courses
#1

Hello Team,

I am trying to set the bar height for a bar chart and I am using the code in Step 2 Mission 3 Page 4. I am working on Jupyter on my PC

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from numpy import arange
num_cols = ['RT_user_norm', 'Metacritic_user_nom', 'IMDB_norm', 'Fandango_Ratingvalue', 'Fandango_Stars']
bar_heights = norm_reviews[num_cols].iloc[0].values
bar_positions = arange(5) + 0.75
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.bar(bar_positions, bar_heights, 0.5)
plt.show()

I get a TypeError message at line 4 of the code

"TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not list"

Kindly assist me in understanding the error.

Thanks,
Ignatius.

Hey, ignatiusebigwai.

I am unable to reproduce this. Can you please share your notebook so that other people can look into this?

It’s possible you’re doing something incorrect before this screen.

Hi Bruno,

Thanks very much for your response.
Like you mentioned I was doing something wrong. I was working on more than one note book at the time and I had been practising for over 7hrs. Guess I was tired. But today I concentrated on the mission and it went smoothly. Apologies for the NPT I caused you.

Thanks,
Ignatius.

No worries :slight_smile:

Feel free to mark your own reply as a solution, just so that this question doesn’t appear to be unsolved.
