Graph Representations: Adjacency Matrix vs. Adjacency List
Explore how to represent graphs using adjacency matrices and adjacency lists in Go. Understand when to use each method based on graph density and efficiency needs, and learn their benefits and limitations for effective graph problem-solving.
A graph can be represented in memory in different ways. Two of the most common representations are the adjacency matrix and the adjacency list. Each representation has its own advantages and limitations, and the best choice depends on the graph and the problem we want to solve.
Adjacency matrix
An adjacency matrix uses a 2D slice or table to represent connections between vertices. If a graph has n vertices, then the matrix has
