how do i compare two variables in a bar graph in matlab

To compare two variables in a bar graph in MATLAB, you can follow the below steps:

  1. Create two variables with some values to compare. For example:
x = [1 2 3 4 5];
y = [5 4 3 2 1];
34 chars
3 lines
  1. Create a bar graph using the bar function:
bar(x, 'b');
hold on;
bar(y, 'r');
legend('x', 'y');
53 chars
5 lines

Here, we are plotting two bar graphs, one for variable x and the other for y. 'b' and 'r' are used to set the colors of two bars. The hold on command ensures that both bar graphs are plotted in the same figure.

  1. Add a legend to the graph to distinguish between the two variables being plotted.

You will now have a bar graph comparing the two variables.
