Making a Bar Chart
This bar chart displays the populations of the top 10 most populous countries, based on 2018 estimates from the United Nations World Population Prospects. It shows how D3 v5’s `scaleLinear` and `scaleBand` map population values to bar widths and country names to vertical positions, respectively. The chart renders as SVG rectangles with a steelblue fill, and axis customization is demonstrated through the use of `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft`. Population data, stored in a CSV and loaded via `d3.csv`, is multiplied by 1000 for accuracy.
