python plot simple histogram given binned data

Question

I have count data (a 100 of them), each correspond to a bin (0 to 99). I need to plot these data as histogram. However, histogram count those data and does not plot correctly because my data is already binned.

import random
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = random.sample(range(1000), 100)
xbins = [0, len(x)]
#plt.hist(x, bins=xbins, color = 'blue') 
#Does not make the histogram correct. It counts the occurances of the individual counts. 

plt.plot(x)
#plot works but I need this in histogram format
plt.show()

Answer 1

If I'm understanding what you want to achieve correctly then the following should give you what you want:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.bar(range(0,100), x)
plt.show()

It doesn't use hist(), but it looks like you've already put your data into bins so there's no need.
