def coverage(G, partition):
"""Returns the coverage of a partition.
The *coverage* of a partition is the ratio of the number of
intra-community edges to the total number of edges in the graph.
Parameters
----------
G : NetworkX graph
partition : sequence
Partition of the nodes of `G`, represented as a sequence of
sets of nodes. Each block of the partition represents a
community.
Returns
-------
float
The coverage of the partition, as defined above.
Raises
------
NetworkXError
If `partition` is not a valid partition of the nodes of `G`.
Notes
-----
If `G` is a multigraph, the multiplicity of edges is counted.

.. math::

\delta(c_i,c_j)
where $m$ is the number of edges, $A$ is the adjacency matrix of
`G`, $k_i$ is the degree of $i$ and $\delta(c_i, c_j)$
is 1 if $i$ and $j$ are in the same community and 0 otherwise.
Parameters
----------
G : NetworkX Graph
communities : list
List of sets of nodes of `G` representing a partition of the
nodes.
Returns
-------
Q : float
The modularity of the paritition.
Raises
------
NotAPartition
If `communities` is not a partition of the nodes of `G`.
Examples
--------
>>> G = nx.barbell_graph(3, 0)
>>> nx.algorithms.community.modularity(G, [{0, 1, 2}, {3, 4, 5}])
