AdjacencyLists: A Graph as a Collection of Lists
Learn about the representation of graphs by adjacency lists.
We'll cover the following
Adjacency list representations of graphs take a more vertex-centric approach. There are many possible implementations of adjacency lists. In this section, we present a simple one. At the end of the section, we discuss different possibilities. In an adjacency list representation, the graph is represented as an array, adj
, of lists. The list adj[i]
contains a list of all the vertices adjacent to vertex i
. That is, it contains every index such that .
