"""Swap two edges in the graph while keeping the node degrees fixed.

A double-edge swap removes two randomly chosen edges u-v and x-y
and creates the new edges u-x and v-y::

u--v            u  v
becomes  |  |
x--y            x  y

If either the edge u-x or v-y already exist no swap is performed
and another attempt is made to find a suitable edge pair.

Parameters
----------
G : graph
An undirected graph

nswap : integer (optional, default=1)
Number of double-edge swaps to perform

max_tries : integer (optional)
Maximum number of attempts to swap edges

seed : integer, random_state, or None (default)
Indicator of random number generation state.
See :ref:Randomness<randomness>.

Returns
-------
G : graph
The graph after double edge swaps.

Notes
-----
Does not enforce any connectivity constraints.

The graph G is modified in place.

def connected_double_edge_swap(G, nswap=1, _window_threshold=3, seed=None):
"""Attempts the specified number of double-edge swaps in the graph G.

A double-edge swap removes two randomly chosen edges (u, v) and (x,
y) and creates the new edges (u, x) and (v, y)::

u--v            u  v
becomes  |  |
x--y            x  y

If either (u, x) or (v, y) already exist, then no swap is performed
so the actual number of swapped edges is always *at most* nswap.

Parameters
----------
G : graph
An undirected graph

nswap : integer (optional, default=1)
Number of double-edge swaps to perform

_window_threshold : integer

The window size below which connectedness of the graph will be checked
after each swap.

The "window" in this function is a dynamically updated integer that
represents the number of swap attempts to make before checking if the
graph remains connected. It is an optimization used to decrease the
running time of the algorithm in exchange for increased complexity of
implementation.

If the window size is below this threshold, then the algorithm checks
after each swap if the graph remains connected by checking if there is a
path joining the two nodes whose edge was just removed. If the window
size is above this threshold, then the algorithm performs do all the
swaps in the window and only then check if the graph is still connected.

seed : integer, random_state, or None (default)
Indicator of random number generation state.
See :ref:Randomness<randomness>.

Returns
-------
int
The number of successful swaps

Raises
------

NetworkXError

If the input graph is not connected, or if the graph has fewer than four
nodes.

Notes
-----

The initial graph G must be connected, and the resulting graph is
connected. The graph G is modified in place.
