Python code for bar distribution plot vs pie plot

#Data Visualization using Python

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

N = 8

xx = np.array(['A Day'])
y = [8,4,2,3,5,2]
yy = np.array([0,8,12,14,17,22])
labl = ['sleep', 'study', 'physical', 'cooking', 'television', 'laptop']

# Bar Distributed Plot
plt.figure(figsize=(1,5))
plt.bar(xx, y[0], bottom=yy[0], width=0.02, label=labl[0])
plt.bar(xx, y[1], bottom=yy[1], width=0.02, label=labl[1])
plt.bar(xx, y[2], bottom=yy[2], width=0.02, label=labl[2])
plt.bar(xx, y[3], bottom=yy[3], width=0.02, label=labl[3])
plt.bar(xx, y[4], bottom=yy[4], width=0.02, label=labl[4])
plt.bar(xx, y[5], bottom=yy[5], width=0.02, label=labl[5])
plt.box(False)
plt.yticks(ticks=yy+1, labels=labl)
plt.xticks(None)
plt.show()

# Pie Plot
plt.figure()
plt.pie(y, labels=labl)
plt.axis(False)
plt.show()

Output:

Output is as Figure
