Day 44: Graph Representations
After reading this chapter and engaging in the embedded activities and reflections, you should be able to:
- Identify the key operations needed in a Graph ADT interface
- Explain the adjacency matrix representation and its space-time trade-offs
- Explain the adjacency list representation and its space-time trade-offs
- Explain the edge list representation and when it's appropriate
- Distinguish between sparse and dense graphs
- Analyze space and time complexity for graph operations across different representations
- Choose the appropriate graph representation based on graph density and required operations
