networkx.MultiDiGraph.number_of_edges¶
-
MultiDiGraph.
number_of_edges
(u=None, v=None)¶ Returns the number of edges between two nodes.
- Parameters
u, v (nodes, optional (Gefault=all edges)) – If u and v are specified, return the number of edges between u and v. Otherwise return the total number of all edges.
- Returns
nedges – The number of edges in the graph. If nodes
u
andv
are specified return the number of edges between those nodes. If the graph is directed, this only returns the number of edges fromu
tov
.- Return type

Examples
For undirected multigraphs, this method counts the total number of edges in the graph:
>>> G = nx.MultiGraph() >>> G.add_edges_from([(0, 1), (0, 1), (1, 2)]) [0, 1, 0] >>> G.number_of_edges() 3
If you specify two nodes, this counts the total number of edges joining the two nodes:
>>> G.number_of_edges(0, 1) 2
For directed multigraphs, this method can count the total number of directed edges from
u
tov
:>>> G = nx.MultiDiGraph() >>> G.add_edges_from([(0, 1), (0, 1), (1, 0)]) [0, 1, 0] >>> G.number_of_edges(0, 1) 2 >>> G.number_of_edges(1, 0) 1
