What does mcount mean

[tyuanhang]

diffusion.py Line 198 what does mcount mean? Is it mc?

[Vinit-source]

def diffuse_mc(self, act_nodes, mc=10):
        self.sample_live_graph_mc(mc)
        self.graph.total_activated_nodes = []
        for _ in range(mc):
            self.diffuse(act_nodes, mcount)
        return sum(self.graph.total_activated_nodes) / float(mc)

I think the _ is supposed to be mcount. The index used for self.sampled_graphs.
