How to implement the 'ValueError: x and y must be the same size' when using scatter plots with Matplotlib?
I keep running into I'm collaborating on a project where I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help... I'm trying to create a scatter plot using Matplotlib, but I'm running into a 'ValueError: x and y must be the same size'... I have two NumPy arrays, `x` and `y`, which I believe should have the same length, but I'm not sure what's going wrong. Here's the code I've written: ```python import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Generating data np.random.seed(0) x = np.random.rand(100) y = np.random.rand(100) # Intentionally modifying the length of y y = y[:-10] # This makes y shorter than x # Attempting to create a scatter plot plt.scatter(x, y) plt.title('Scatter Plot') plt.xlabel('X-axis') plt.ylabel('Y-axis') plt.show() ``` When I run this code, I get the behavior: ``` ValueError: x and y must be the same size ``` I've double-checked the shapes of both arrays by printing `x.shape` and `y.shape`, and they clearly show different lengths. I thought that by manipulating the data, I would get an interesting visualization, but it seems like I need both arrays to be the same size. What can I do to avoid this behavior? Is there a way to handle the lengths gracefully or is it essential that both arrays match in size for a scatter plot? Any best practices to manage such situations would be appreciated!
