A bar chart is a type of graph in which each column (plotted either vertically or horizontally) represents a particular item. It is used to compare the frequency (count) for a category with another category. Here, frequency refers to the number of times a particular observation occurs in a given dataset. In a bar graph, it is generally represented on the y-axis.
