# networkx.MultiDiGraph.out_degree¶

property MultiDiGraph.out_degree

Returns an iterator for (node, out-degree) or out-degree for single node.

out_degree(self, nbunch=None, weight=None)

The node out-degree is the number of edges pointing out of the node. This function returns the out-degree for a single node or an iterator for a bunch of nodes or if nothing is passed as argument.

Parameters
• nbunch (single node, container, or all nodes (default= all nodes)) – The view will only report edges incident to these nodes.

• weight (string or None, optional (default=None)) – The edge attribute that holds the numerical value used as a weight. If None, then each edge has weight 1. The degree is the sum of the edge weights.

Returns

• If a single node is requested

• deg (int) – Degree of the node

• OR if multiple nodes are requested

• nd_iter (iterator) – The iterator returns two-tuples of (node, out-degree).

Examples

>>> G = nx.MultiDiGraph()
>>> nx.add_path(G, [0, 1, 2, 3])
>>> G.out_degree(0) # node 0 with degree 1
1
>>> list(G.out_degree([0, 1, 2]))
[(0, 1), (1, 1), (2, 1)]
