Lesson Organising information: graphs
Organising information: graphs
- Graphs are a crucial data structure in computer science, representing networks of connected nodes. They model various real-world connections, from cities and social networks to webpages. There are two types of graphs: undirected graphs (edges have no direction) and directed graphs (edges have direction). Euler, through his work on the Königsberg bridge problem, laid the foundation for graph theory.

- Undirected Graphs: Edges can be traversed in both directions.
- Directed Graphs: Edges have a specific direction from one node to another.
