Lära Challenge: Inflation Rate Visualization | Economic Data Analysis with Python

You are ready to put your skills into practice by visualizing inflation rates for several countries across a decade. This challenge requires you to work with a hardcoded pandas DataFrame containing inflation data, and then use matplotlib to create a clear, informative line plot. Each country's inflation rate should be shown as a distinct line on the same plot, with a legend to identify them and properly labeled axes. This kind of visualization is essential for economists to quickly compare inflation trends across countries and time periods.

Uppgift

Swipe to start coding

Write a function called plot_inflation_rates that takes a pandas DataFrame with a "Year" column and one column per country (containing inflation rates). The function should:

Create a line plot using matplotlib.
Plot each country's inflation rate as a separate line on the same plot.
Add a legend to identify each country.
Label the x-axis as Year and the y-axis as Inflation Rate (%).
Display the plot.

Use the following DataFrame for testing:

Year: [2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021].
USA: [2.1, 1.5, 1.6, 0.1, 1.3, 2.1, 2.4, 1.8, 1.2, 4.7].
Germany: [2.0, 1.5, 0.9, 0.2, 0.5, 1.5, 1.9, 1.4, 0.5, 3.1].
Japan: [0.0, 0.4, 2.7, 0.8, -0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 0.5, 0.0, -0.2].
Brazil: [5.4, 6.2, 6.3, 9.0, 8.7, 3.4, 3.7, 3.7, 3.2, 8.7].
