Actually I want to give title to my line plot of matplotlib.pyplot line plot, but I am facing this error

"TypeError: 'str' object is not callable while giving title to the matplotlib.pyplot of line line plot"

Here is my code.

` import numpy as np import pandas as pd from matplotlib import pyplot as plt from pydataset import data

austres = data('austres') austres.head()

plt.figure(figsize=(10,4)) # plot_size plt.plot(austres['time'], austres['austres'], 'v-g') plt.title(label="Population Graph")enter code here plt.xlabel('Time') plt.ylabel('Population') `

enter image description here

Probable reason is you assigned to plt.title before. Someting like

plt.title = "Population Graph"

But what it does is to change the plt.title function of matplotlib to now refer to a string! Language is flexible so you can do this and results in error after you try call it. It tries like "Population Graph"().

To solve it:

• either detect that plt.title = ... code and erase it and re-run the script

• if this is a jupyter like enivornment (e.g. notebook), detect that line and delete it if not already and then restart the kernel and re run again.

Try to use this instead

plt.title('Your Title')
