I sort of understood what puzzled me on [Day 26](https://observablehq.com/@hongtaoh/day-twenty-six-2020-09-19).
Every time you click, the dataset will bu updated. That is to say, the dataset keeps growing. However, every time, the \`.append()\` function only returns reference to the newly created rect, which is then merged with the pre-defined \`previous_rects\`. That is to say, the merged array is only 21 rects whereas the dataset itself is more than that.

I don't want to think about it for now. But I now know that the ticky part is \`rangeRound()\`. If I set it to be \`range()\` without the \`round\` part, everything is fine. However, when I use \`rangeRound()\` and if I merge with \`previous_rects\` (the one before I use \`d3.select("p").on("click", ...))\`, I'll see that the newly generated bar is sometimes moving towards the left, which really surprised me.
`
md`
When \`rangeRound()\` is used, and if merge with \`bars()\`, I'll also see that the range of the xAxis is not fixed. It's dynamic and constantly moving as new data comes in.
Using \`range()\` solved all the problems.

One platform to build and deploy the best data apps
Experiment and prototype by building visualizations in live JavaScript notebooks. Collaborate with your team and decide which concepts to build out.
Use Observable Framework to build data apps locally. Use data loaders to build in any language or library, including Python, SQL, and R.
Seamlessly deploy to Observable. Test before you ship, use automatic deploy-on-commit, and ensure your projects are always up-to-date.
