Study Questions (5 points x 3 = 15 points)

Q1. (5 points)

The values in the "count" column simply wouldn't load/register. Every instance of "d.value" would need to be changed to d.count.

Q2. (5 points)

There are many reasons to use D3 over something like Excel. First of all, D3 can handle much larger volumes of data and can update its visualizations in real-time based on data from external sources. Because D3 is JavaScript rather than proprietary local software, charts can be hosted over a server, displayed in a web page, and can be customized in any way that html/css/JavaScript allow.

Q3. (5 points)

Data in TSV and CSV files are recognized as strings by default. The type argument specifies the data type that the data in a column should be recognized as.
