Method Detail

getDegree

int getDegree()

Get the number of edges connected to this node. (this is also the number of nodes connected to this node).

Note: In previous implementations, this method would return a different value on the root node of trees. It would previously return 1 more than the correct value in that case.

Returns:

the number of edges connected to this node
