Problem in real time matplotlib plotting

Question

Here, In my code x axis='Time' and y='Random Number'. so, I just want to plot graph with these variables using real time matplotlib.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import datetime
import numpy as np
import time

def GetRandomIntNumber(Data):
   timerCounter=0
   x=[]
   y=[]
   while timerCounter < 5000:
       NewNumber = Data * np.random.randomint(5)
       x.append(datetime.datetime.now())
       y.append(NewNumber)
       plt.plot(x,y)
       plt.show()
       time.sleep(10)

a = 10
GetRandomIntNumber(a)

Hi Sucheta,

The error I can see in your code that is because there is no function called randomint .

You can check out this code to remove your error.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import datetime
import numpy as np
import time

def GetRandomIntNumber(Data):
   timerCounter=0
   x=[]
   y=[]
   while timerCounter < 5000:
       NewNumber = Data * np.random.randint(5)
       x.append(datetime.datetime.now())
       y.append(NewNumber)
       plt.plot(x,y)
       plt.show()
       time.sleep(10)

a = 10
GetRandomIntNumber(a)

I hope it will help you, just let me know if it works.
