Pandas: Create a bar plot of one column versus another column
Pandas: Plotting Exercise-3 with Solution
Write a Pandas program to create a bar plot of the trading volume of Alphabet Inc. stock between two specific dates.
In the context of a single stock trading on a stock exchange, the volume is commonly reported as the number of shares that changed hands during a given day. The transactions are measured on stocks, bonds, options contracts, futures contracts and commodities.
Use the alphabet_stock_data.csv file to extract data.

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('2020-4-30')
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date'])
new_df = (df['Date']>= start_date) & (df['Date']<= end_date)
df1 = df.loc[new_df]
df2 = df1.set_index('Date')
plt.figure(figsize=(6,6))
plt.suptitle('Trading Volume of Alphabet Inc. stock,\n01-04-2020 to 30-04-2020', fontsize=16, color='black')
plt.xlabel("Date",fontsize=12, color='black')
plt.ylabel("Trading Volume", fontsize=12, color='black')
df2['Volume'].plot(kind='bar');
plt.show()

Python: Tips of the Day
Find current directory and file's directory:
To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:
import os dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)
To get the current working directory use
import os cwd = os.getcwd()
Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:
- The os and os.path modules.
- The __file__ constant
- os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
- os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
- os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
- os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
