How to plot two values as a histogram using Python?

Question

I have to plot two values as a histogram using python.

 File=[1,2,3] 
 File1=[3,4,5,6] 
 files=len(File) 
 files1=len(File1)

I want to plot the length of the files. files and files1 should be on the x-axis and the y-axis needs to have the count like 0, 10, 20 ....

Below is an example diagram.

Perhaps you could describe the result you want a little more fully? — holdenweb

I guess you want a bar plot like this:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.bar([0, 1], [files, files1])
plt.show()

Check out the matplotlib examples if you want to find out how to format and change labels, axis limits, etc.

Thanks @kazemakase. But i need a bar like what i have mentioned in sample picture. Could you please give me an idea how to get that?

@sara what exactly do you mean? There are two bars, one is 3 units high, the other 4 - just like in your example. Everything else is just a matter of formatting the axis range and the tick labels.
