Graphs 1 Introduction We have studied one non-linear data structure so far i.e Trees. A graph is another non-linear data structure that is widely used to solve many real-life computing problems. For example‚ we need to use a graph to find out whether two places on a road-map are connected and what is the shortest distance between them. Graphs are used in simulating electrical circuits to find out current flows and voltage drops at various points in the circuit. Graphs are widely used in telephone
