用python构建多只股票日收益率直方图,在Python中使用Counter（）建立直方图？

I saw on another question that I could use Counter() to count the number of occurrences in a set of strings. So if I have ['A','B','A','C','A','A'] I get Counter({'A':3,'B':1,'C':1}). But now, how can I use that information to build a histogram for example?

For your data it is probably better to use a barchart instead of a histogram. Check out this code:

from collections import Counter

import numpy as np

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

labels, values = zip(*Counter(['A','B','A','C','A','A']).items())

indexes = np.arange(len(labels))

width = 1

plt.bar(indexes, values, width)

plt.xticks(indexes + width * 0.5, labels)

plt.show()

Result:
