AttributeError: module 'matplotlib' has no attribute 'plot'

Question

I am using python 3.6 and a learner. Below is a simple code of a sin wave.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import numpy as np 

x = np.linspace(-10 , 10, 100)
y = np.sin(x) 
plt.plot(x, y, marker="x")

I am receiving the error "AttributeError: module 'matplotlib' has no attribute 'plot'" Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have the complete error message? Did you really type this code or used something else, e.g. import matplotlib as plt ? — Eric Duminil

Have you installed matplotlib properly? I added an extra line to your code to show the plot. This code works properly in Visual Studio after installing the matplotlib library.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import numpy as np 

x = np.linspace(-10 , 10, 100)
y = np.sin(x) 
plt.plot(x, y, marker="x")
plt.show()
