Generating matrix as follows

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to create random adjacency matrices for networks in the following form (see image), as you can see I have 6 nodes (n = 6) and each node must have 2 connections (degree = 2) to two other nodes chosen randomly. So the sum of each row must equal 2(or whatever value "degree" is assigned). The matrix must be symmetric with zeros along the diagonal (properties of the adjacency matrix). I have written a code that generates random adjacency matrices but Imnot sure how to constraint the program such that each node has exaclty 2 random connections.
A = zeros(n,n); % Create initial matrix
for i = 1:n
for j = 1:n
if i==j
A(i,j)=0; % Zero values in the diagonal entries
else
A(i,j)=round(rand); % Choosing random 0 and 1 values
A(j,i)=A(i,j); % Make A matrix symmetric
end
end
end
Any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you!

Graph has to be a polygon.
numNodes=6;
a=randperm(numNodes);
b=circshift(a,1);
g=graph(a,b);
plot(g);
m=full(adjacency(g));

Hi David,
this is perfect given that each node has 2 connections but I'd like to know how to contraint it si that I can change the number of nodes and edges for instance how can I generate an adjacency matrix with n = 20 and degrees = 3 (number of connections) to 3 different nodes. any suggestions? Thank you so much in advance
Some combinations of nodes and degrees will not work.
while 1
numNodes=20;
degrees=3;
n=repelem(1:numNodes,degrees);
s=[];t=[];
flag=1;
while ~isempty(n)
N=unique(n);
a=sum(n==N(1));
b=nchoosek(N(2:end),a);
try
c=b(randi(length(b)),:);
catch
flag=0;
break;
end
s=[s,n(n==N(1))];
t=[t,c];
n=n(a+1:end);
for k=1:a
try
n(find(n==c(k),1))=[];
catch
flag=0;
break;
end
end
end
if flag
g=graph(s,t);
plot(g);
m=full(adjacency(g));
break;
end
end
Hey David, Thank you it works pretty well!

Perhaps as follows,
n=6;
T=nan(n,2);
map=isnan(T);
while any(map(:))
[i,~]=find(map,1);
if ~map(i,1)
exclude=[i,T(i,1)];
elseif ~map(i,2)
exclude=[i,T(i,2)];
else
exclude=i;
end
pool=setdiff(find(any(map,2)),exclude);
if isempty(pool)
T=nan(n,2); map=isnan(T); continue
end
p=numel(pool);
j=pool(randi(p));
if map(i,1),
T(i,1)=j;
map(i,1)=0;
else,
T(i,2)=j;
map(i,2)=0;
end
if map(j,1),
T(j,1)=i;
map(j,1)=0;
else,
T(j,2)=i;
map(j,2)=0;
end
end
s=[(1:n), (1:n)].';
t=[T(:,1); T(:,2)];
st=unique(sort([s,t],2),'rows');
G=graph(st(:,1),st(:,2));
degree(G)
ans = 6×1
2 2 2 2 2 2

hi Matt,
Under your code each node has a degree of 4, is there a way to contraint the connection to only have a specified number? Thank you
