Number of nodes in a network

[pardal]

Hello everybody,

In a simple module that I have created, I defined a pointer to the
network like this:

parent = getParentModule();
network = parent->getParentModule();

(the simple module is in a compound module).

My question is: how can I get the number of nodes in the network using
the pointer "network"? Is there another way of doing it (without using
the pointer)?

Thanks in advance.
