Intro to Algorithms
A directed graph, or digraph, is a set of vertices connected by edges where each edge has a direction, indicating a one-way relationship between the vertices. This structure allows for representing various relationships such as workflows, dependencies, and social networks where the order of connections matters. Directed graphs are crucial in algorithm design and analysis, particularly in understanding shortest path problems and the behavior of different algorithms in weighted and unweighted scenarios.
congrats on reading the definition of Directed Graph. now let's actually learn it.
