## Instruction

Great. Now, we want to plot the actual histograms: one in the left subplot, and another in the right subplot. Take a look:

subplot1.hist(diamonds['Women'], facecolor='red', edgecolor='black')
subplot2.hist(diamonds['Men'], facecolor='b', edgecolor='black')

To show a histogram, we use the hist() function on each subplot. The first argument of hist() describes the column whose distribution we want to show (in this case - the Women/Men column from the diamonds dataset. We want the left subplot to show women's data, and the right subplot to show men's data. We also provide optional arguments for both histograms: facecolor defines the colors of the bars, and edgecolor – determines the colors of the borders.

The result we get is as follows:

## Exercise

Draw a histogram for each subplot. Use the salaries dataset.

• Histogram for accounting (the accounting column), Bar color: red, Border color: black.
• Histogram for it (the it column), Bar color: orange, Border color: black.
• Histogram for consulting (the consulting column), Bar color: purple, Border color: black.

### Stuck? Here's a hint!

To create the first histogram, use:

subplot1.hist(salaries['accounting'], facecolor='red', edgecolor='black')
