What is the difference between histogram and bar diagrams?

1. A bar graph is a kind of visual representation of comparing values. 2. A histogram is a kind of bar graph that displays a more specific way of presenting comparisons. 3. The bar graph is often used to show a visual comparison of discrete elements, while the histogram is used to show the frequency of non-discrete, continuous items. 4. The items in the histogram are usually numbers, that are grouped or categorized in such a way that they are considered to be ranges. In regards to bar graphs, the elements or items are taken as separate entities. 5. Normally, a bar graph is drawn or depicted in a such a way, that a bar representing the frequency of an item, is not touching the bar of the next item. There is a visible space between the bars. 6. The bars in the histogram are always the touching the next one. There are no spaces in between. read less
