Exercise

Number of edges over time

You're now going to get some practice plotting other evolving graph statistics. We'll start with a simpler exercise to kick things off. First off, plot the number of edges over time.

To do this, you'll create a list of the number of edges per month. The index of this list will correspond to the months elapsed since the first month.

Instructions

  • Import matplotlib.pyplot as plt.
  • Create a list of the number of edges per month called edge_sizes. Use a list comprehension to do this, where you iterate over Gs using an iterator variable called g, and your output expression is len(g.edges()).
  • Plot edge sizes over time.
