bfs_successors

bfs_successors(G, source)

Return dictionary of successors in breadth-first-search from source.

Parameters :

G : NetworkX graph

source : node, optional

Specify starting node for breadth-first search and return edges in the component reachable from source.

Returns :

succ: dict

A dictionary with nodes as keys and list of succssors nodes as values.

Notes

Based on http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/PADS/BFS.py by D. Eppstein, July 2004.

If a source is not specified then a source is chosen arbitrarily and repeatedly until all components in the graph are searched.

Examples

>>> G = nx.Graph()
>>> G.add_path([0,1,2])
>>> print(nx.bfs_successors(G,0))
{0: [1], 1: [2]}
