Javascript / React - Question about .focus() behaviour

I've just created a small search bar component that appears/disappear when clicking on an icon. It hides and shows (changes opacity and width) with a nice animation based on if the input is focused or not.

Here is the code that works perfectly:

const SearchBar = () => {
  const inputRef = useRef();
  const [isSearchBarOpen, setIsSearchBarOpen] = useState(false);

  const handleClick = () => {
    if (!isSearchBarOpen) {
      setIsSearchBarOpen(true);
      inputRef.current.focus();
    } else {
      inputRef.current.blur();
      setIsSearchBarOpen(false);
    }
  };

  return (
    <div className="search-container">
      <input
        type="text"
        placeholder="Search content"
        className="searchbar-input"
        ref={inputRef}
      />
      <BiSearch
        className="search-icon"
        size="2.5rem"
        color="#fff"
        onClick={handleClick}
      />
    </div>
  );
};

However when building it, I noticed a few things. The following code doesn't work (the search bar only shrinks when pressing the icon but as soon as it's not pressed anymore the input is focused again):

if (inputRef.current.focus()) {
  inputRef.current.blur();
} else {
  inputRef.current.focus();
}

Other weird reaction, I noticed that the exact same thing happen when I just insert .focus() in a if statement.

if (!inputRef.current.focus()) console.log('I dont know whats happening');

The line of code above also triggers an input focus when clicking on the icon.

Could someone just explain me what happens under the hood? Why is .focus called no matter what? And is there a better way/practice to toggle focus while clicking on the same button than my code that works?

The number of nodes and edges I calculated manually and by a method provided by networkx library dont match

I am trying to analyse a graph using networkx library in Python. I have implemented a function that returns the nodes and edges of that graph. After that I counted the number of nodes and edges by implementing the len() function for nodes and edges, which gave me 17 for both nodes and edges. However, when I used the method graph.number_of_nodes() of networkx library it gave me 53. My code: import pandas as pd import networkx as nx import matplotlib.pyplot as plt header_list = ["a","b","w"] E =pd.read_csv("aves-barn-swallow-contact-network.edges",sep=" ",header= None,names=header_list) # print(E.head()) # prints first few rows of the csv file G = nx.from_pandas_edgelist(E,"a","b",["w"]) nx.draw(G) plt.show() class GraphAnalyse: #finding nodes and edges def nodeEdge(self,Graph): nodes = Graph.nodes() edges = Graph.edges() ...
