In this section, we learned about Graphs, applications, properties, and how we can create them. We mention that you can represent a graph as a matrix or as a list of adjacencies. We went for implementing the latter since it鈥檚 more space-efficient. We cover the basic graph operations like adding and removing nodes and edges. In the algorithms section, we are going to cover searching values in the graph.
