How do I get multiple subplots in matplotlib?

Question

I am a little confused about how this code works:

fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=2, ncols=2)
plt.show()

How does the fig, axes work in this

Answer 1

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots(2, 2)

ax[0, 0].plot(range(10), 'r') #row=0, col=0
ax[1, 0].plot(range(10), 'b') #row=1, col=0
ax[0, 1].plot(range(10), 'g') #row=0, col=1
ax[1, 1].plot(range(10), 'k') #row=1, col=1
plt.show()
