Graphs and Algorithms
Graphs are a non-linear data structure, in which the problem is represented as a network by connecting a set of nodes with edges, like a telephone network or social network. For example, in a graph, nodes can represent different cities while the links between them represent edges. Graphs are one of the most important data structures; they are used to solve many computing problems, especially when the problem is represented in the form of objects and their connection, e.g. to find out the shortest path from one city to another city. Graphs are useful data structures for solving real-world problems in which the problem can be represented as a network-like structure. In this chapter, we will be discussing the most important ...
