Counts the number of nodes (Vertices) in a tree
Counts the number of nodes in a tree (dendrogram, hclust, phylo).
nnodes(x, ...) ## Default S3 method: nnodes(x, ...) ## S3 method for class 'dendrogram' nnodes(x, ...) ## S3 method for class 'hclust' nnodes(x, ...) ## S3 method for class 'phylo' nnodes(x, ...)

The idea for the name is from functions like ncol, and nrow.
The phylo method is based on turning the phylo to hclust and than to dendrogram. It may not work for complex phylo trees.
The number of leaves in the tree
hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests[1:5, ]), "ave") dend <- as.dendrogram(hc) nnodes(dend) # 9 nnodes(hc) # 9
