Types of Graphs

Explore various graph types including directed, undirected, weighted, unweighted, cyclic, and acyclic graphs. Understand their differences, use cases, and how to implement them in Python to model real-world relationships and solve complex problems.

Graphs can be classified into different types based on how their edges behave. The most common classifications are:

  • Directed vs. undirected

  • Weighted vs. unweighted

  • Cyclic vs. acyclic

Directed graphs

A directed graph, or digraph, is a graph in which each edge has a direction. This means the connection goes from one vertex to another in a specific direction.

For example, if there is an edge from A to B, that does not automatically mean there is an edge from B to A.
