365 Days of Python: Day #4 — Glorious Graphs

When people think of code, they tend to think of blurbs of green text on a computer screen in a dark room. In fairness, this is somewhat true; however, the public’s perception of code is one-sided in my opinion.

The other side of code that people never consider is what the code actually produces.

As mentioned in my previous blog, I do consider myself computer-savvy; however, that does not mean that I know the innerworkings of operating systems and programming languages. Therefore, I oftentimes find myself at a loss for words when a program or a block of code produces something truly beautiful.
