Aim of the assignment

The goal of this assignment is to introduce you to Matplotlib and seaborn. Seaborn is a Python data visualization library built on top of Matplotlib. It provides a high-level interface for creating attractive and informative statistical graphics. Seaborn is particularly well-suited for visualizing complex datasets with multiple variables. It comes with several built-in themes and color palettes to make it easy to create aesthetically pleasing and informative plots. Matplotlib provides a lower-level interface and more power, but at a cost of being more complicated.
