You can get started on it now. Two files will be most useful.

forces_and_effects.py -- This is the file of network methods shown in class. It is missing has a stub version of the generate_network() method, which is intended to generate a network of the required type.

network_algorithms.py -- This is the file where you should write your code. The outline is provided. It has a declared, but an empty, generate_network() method, which you should fill in.

The network_algorithms.py file will run as it is. It arranges the indicated number of nodes in a ring but with no links between them.

You will write other methods like a small world generator, a preferential attachment generator, the Floyd-Warshall all-pairs shortest path algorithm, a clustering measure algorithm, and perhaps some others.

You can (and should) start on it now. It is due next Tuesday (March 17).
