BAR GRAPH . It is a graph

which uses horizontal or vertical bars to represent data. It is a visual display used to compare the frequency
of occurrences of different characteristics of data. This type of graph allows us to compare groups of data and
make quick generalization about the data by examining the length of the bars. Since only the lengths of the
bars are important, the widths are all made equal. A gap between the bars is spaced equally.
