Fork of Making a Bar Chart
This bar chart visualizes the population of the ten most populous countries, based on 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. The chart uses D3 v5’s `scaleLinear` for the x-axis population scale and `scaleBand` for the categorical y-axis, with the population values converted from thousands to absolute numbers before rendering as SVG rectangles. Customized `axisBottom` and `axisLeft` axes remove default domain lines, add grid lines, and label the population axis with a custom tick format that abbreviates large numbers (e.g., replacing "G" with "B").
