Multiple lines on the same plot
You can also plot multiple datasets as different lines. To do so, you can use the plot()
function multiple times. Let's plot the stocks of two companies over time.
matplotlib.pyplot
is imported as plt
and lists days
, prices1
, and prices2
are available in your workspace.
