bfs_successors¶

bfs_successors(G, source)[source]¶

Returns an iterator of successors in breadth-first-search from source.

Parameters:	G (NetworkX graph) source (node) – Specify starting node for breadth-first search and return edges in the component reachable from source.
Returns:	succ – (node, successors) iterator where successors is the list of successors of the node.
Return type:	iterator

Examples

>>> G = nx.path_graph(3)
>>> print(dict(nx.bfs_successors(G,0)))
{0: [1], 1: [2]}
>>> H = nx.Graph()
>>> H.add_edges_from([(0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)])
>>> dict(nx.bfs_successors(H, 0))
{0: [1, 2], 1: [3, 4], 2: [5, 6]}
