Note that there are no spaces between the bars of a histogram since there are no gaps between the bins. An exception would occur if there were no values in a given bin but in that case the value is zero rather than a space. On the other hand, there are spaces between the variables of a bar chart.

Why does histogram do not have spaces in between the bars?
A histogram is a representation of continuous data that are grouped into classes. There are no gaps between the bars in a histogram because the classes are continuous.
Can a histogram have spaces between the bars?
A histogram has an appearance similar to a vertical bar chart, but there are no gaps between the bars. Generally, a histogram will have bars of equal width. Chart 5.7. 1 is an example of a histogram that shows the distribution of salary, a continuous variable, of the employees of a corporation.
Can there be gaps between bars in a bar graph?
They are usually drawn with no gaps between the rectangles. However, when the data ranges share a border, when the data is categorical the bars are usually drawn with gaps in between.
What's the difference between a histogram and a bar graph?
Histograms visualize quantitative data or numerical data, whereas bar charts display categorical variables. In most instances, the numerical data in a histogram will be continuous (having infinite values). Attempting to display all possible values of a continuous variable along an axis would be foolish.
