Bar charts

A bar chart is a visual way to compare different categories using rectangular bars. Each bar’s length or height represents the value of that category, making it easy to see which ones are larger or smaller at a glance. For example, it can show how sales differ across products or how different cities compare in population. The bars can be displayed vertically or horizontally. Bar charts are useful because they present complex data simply, allowing quick and clear comparisons between multiple items.
