Change Number Formatting on X-Axis Matplotlib

Question

I'm sure this is an easy answer, but could not find anywhere. I want the x-axis to read with the values 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, not 2 x e**3.

import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = [2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004]
y = [2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004] 

plt.xticks(np.arange(min(x), max(x)+1, 1.0)) 
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.show()

The code returns a graph that represents the values like this. How do I change it?

enter image description here You can use

plt.xticks(np.arange(min(x), max(x)+1, 1.0), x)

Try this as in your code space was already there just labels were needed... For more follow this link

For some reason adding this line makes the x-axis disappear, although it moves some tick marks opposite the y-axis.
