This paper deals with the maximum cardinality matching(MCM) problem. The augmenting path technique is well known in MCM. MCM is obtained by $O({\sqrt{n}}m)$ time complexity augmenting path algorithm for the general graph, and O(m log n) algorithm for the bipartite graph. On the other hand, this paper suggests O(n) linear time algorithm. The proposed algorithm based on the basic principle of as possible as largest selected inter-vertex edges in order to obtain the MCM. This paper simply selects edge {u,𝜐} that the minimum degree vertex u and minimum degree vertex 𝜐 in N_G(u) 𝜈(G)=k times iteration. For various general and bipartite graphs experimental data, this algorithm can be get the 𝜈(G) exactly.
