plot is not shown when I call plt.show() in matplotlib

I'm currently learning python and i saw this code in a book but it's not working for me. it's about dynamic visualization of rolling a die:

from matplotlib import animation
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import random
import seaborn as sns


def update(frame_number, rolls, faces, frequencies):
    for i in range(rolls):
        frequencies[random.randrange(1, 7) - 1] += 1
    plt.cla()
    axes = sns.barplot(faces, frequencies, palette='bright')
    axes.set_title(f'Die Frequencies for {sum(frequencies):,} Rolls')
    axes.set(xlabel='Die Value', ylabel='Frequency')
    axes.set_ylim(top=max(frequencies) * 1.10)
    for bar, frequency in zip(axes.patches, frequencies):
        text_x = bar.get_x() + bar.get_width() / 2.0
        text_y = bar.get_height()
        text = f'{frequency:,}\n{frequency / sum(frequencies):.3%}'
        axes.text(text_x, text_y, text, ha='center', va='bottom')


number_of_frames = 10000  
rolls_per_frame = 600
sns.set_style('whitegrid')
figure = plt.figure('Rolling a Six-Sided Die')
values = list(range(1, 7))
frequencies = [0] * 6

die_animation = animation.FuncAnimation(figure, update, repeat=False, frames=number_of_frames, interval=33,
                                        fargs=(rolls_per_frame, values, frequencies))
plt.show()

after running the script nothing happens. Note that matplotlib and seaborn are working correctly in my system. I used them for static visualization beforehand.

There is no problem with this code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import random
import seaborn as sns

rolls = [random.randrange(1, 7) for i in range(600)]

values, frequencies = np.unique(rolls, return_counts=True)

title = f'Rolling a six-sided die {len(rolls):,} Times'
sns.set_style('whitegrid')
axes = sns.barplot(x=values, y=frequencies, palette='bright')
axes.set_title(title)
axes.set(xlabel='Die value', ylabel='Frequency')

axes.set_ylim(top=max(frequencies) * 1.10)

for bar, frequency in zip(axes.patches, frequencies):
    text_x = bar.get_x() + bar.get_width() / 2.0
    text_y = bar.get_height()
    text = f'{frequency:,}\n{frequency / len(rolls):.3%}'
    axes.text(text_x, text_y, text, fontsize=11, ha='center', va='bottom')

plt.show()

I don't know why plot is not shown in the first code.

It seems the problem is with pycharm pro version. it's not working in pro version but it works in community version. thanks to Adhun Thalekkara for noticing that. I used the cmd to run the code and it worked correctly for me.

just imported animation from matplotlib and your code was running pretty fine

from matplotlib import animation
