Returns#

Returns an Expression that produces the number of nodes in the graph as an integer value.

Example#

Use .num_nodes() to get the number of nodes in a graph. You access the .num_nodes() method from a Graph object’s .compute attribute:

#import relationalai as rai
from relationalai.std.graphs import Graph

# Create a model named "socialNetwork" with a Person type
model = rai.Model("socialNetwork")
Person = model.Type("Person")

# Add some people to the graph and connect them with a 'friends' property.
with model.rule():
    alice = Person.add(name="Alice")
    bob = Person.add(name="Bob")
    alice.friends.add(bob)
    bob.friends.add(alice)

# Create an undirected graph with Person nodes and edges between friends.
graph = Graph(model, undirected=True)
graph.Node.extend(Person)
graph.Edge.extend(Person.friends)

# Get the number of nodes in the graph.
with model.query() as select:
    num_nodes = graph.compute.num_nodes()
    response = select(num_nodes)

print(response.results)
# Output:
#    v
# 0  2
