Imagine I have the following dataframe

         text                 category
0     "The cat runs..."          1
1     "Why is that..."           2
2     "The job is very..."       2
3     "For some reason..."       2
4     "The level of..."          1

I would like to make two separate plots that for each category, 1 and 2, that shows the length of the number of words for each observations found in that category

So far, I have tried to split the data frame for each category (category1 and category2) and apply the following for, let's say category 1:

 x = category1['text'].apply(lambda x: len(x.split()))

My plan was to make a barplot for this x

But for some reason I get the error that: 'Series' object is not callable

Anyone that has a different or better approach?

`x = category1['text'].str.split().str.len()`? – Anurag Dabas Jun 22 '21 at 12:53
The question lacks focus because it is two questions (1) how to get the word count of a sentence and (2) how to plot based on a group. In the future, create two questions. – Trenton McKinney Jun 22 '21 at 14:28
