Annotating your savings
You have worked hard over the last 30 weeks to build your savings balance for your first car. However, some extra context needs to be added to explain a drop in savings and, later, a big increase in savings accumulated each fortnight.
Your task is to annotate the bar chart of your savings balance over the weeks and add two key annotations to the plot to explain what happened.
A figure fig
has already been created using a savings
DataFrame (with x
as Week
) for you.
