small and large C value and variance

Please I want to know How does having small C value which means : Small margin of error is resulting to High variance I think it s the opposite since the errors will decrease so variance between classified data will decrease >>>>

and the case is same in large C value: wider margin will allow to wider range of errors and different data points will be included so the variance should be higher not lower

if i misunderstand any of the concepts tell me

thanks in advance

Hi Mohamad,
thanks for reaching out! You've understood the concept correctly, the confusion comes from the value of C and the implementation in Python, you can check out also this question and let me know if there's still any confusion:
