<div><h1>BranchLimit -- optional argument for randomHyperGraph</h1>
<div class="single"><h2>Description</h2>
<div><div>The <a href="_random__Hyper__Graph.html" title="returns a random hypergraph">randomHyperGraph</a> method follows a backtracking algorithm to generate edges with no inclusions between them. At each step in the recursive tree, <a href="_random__Hyper__Graph.html" title="returns a random hypergraph">randomHyperGraph</a> will make <tt>BranchLimit</tt> attempts to complete its list of edges. Thus, if a hypergraph with <tt>N</tt> edges is required, <a href="_random__Hyper__Graph.html" title="returns a random hypergraph">randomHyperGraph</a> may take <tt>BranchLimit<sup>N</sup></tt> steps before terminating. To be more precise, the method is implemented so that it makes <tt>BranchLimit + L</tt> attempts at level <tt>L</tt> of the recursion. The default value is 3.</div>
