VertexCount

VertexCount[g]

gives a count of the number of vertices in the graph g.

VertexCount[g,patt]

gives a count of the number of vertices that match the pattern patt.

VertexCount[{vw,},]

uses rules vw to specify the graph g.

Details

  • VertexCount is also known as the order of the graph.
  • VertexCount[g] returns the number of vertices in the graph g.
  • VertexCount works with undirected graphs, directed graphs, multigraphs, and mixed graphs.
