That's meant to be the length of the list of nodes. It should always be the same for your situation (5 for the example you gave).

I'm working on a switch statement for the distance function and I don't want to type the same distances with source and destination reversed. Is there something else I can do?

Don't use a switch statement. Put the distances in a matrix (type vector<vector<int> >). Then you can just return distances[i][i+1]. The subscripts should be the node values. So for nodes a and b, you might do distances[0][1]. Furthermore, you can first put the two parameters in increasing order, so given b, a, you'd switch them to a, b.
