C Graph implementation with adjacency list representation using structures: Data Structure Tutorial 1

Image
This is a quick tutorial for implementing graph data structure with adjacency list representation. Once I was  looking on the web to have a simple introductory tutorial on graphs, but unfortunately couldn’t find one  simple enough. So I decided to write this. In the adjacency list representation, è All the vertices are stored in an array of structure containing ‘data’ and ‘link’ fields. è The linked chains represent the edges of a vertex with its neighbors. In the figure, there are 6 vertices, represented by the array of length 6, and the chains represent the edges. Below is another example: Let us first define the structure of a vertex in a graph. struct vertex {     int vertexKey;     struct edge *edgePtr; }vertex; The vertexKey is the data field of the vertex, and edgePtr is the edge pointer, declared next. The graph can be declared as: struct vertex graph[10]; int vertexCount=0; Here...

Interview Of An Indian Top Coder : Rudradev Basak

When I (Anil Kishore) started taking part in algorithmic programming contests, for more than two years, it was just me, lot of problems, very few algorithms, my ideas and my Java codes. With that, I would have probably been still a green rated coder, working for a software company in Bangalore after moving between two or three places, still in search of the right things to do. But why ? Problems, Algorithms, my Ideas and my Codes.. what else I need ? This is where many Indian coders make mistake. Almost two years after joining TopCoder (TC), I started interacting with fellow coders, knowing more about them, reading lots of others codes, being active in forums and part of the wonderful community. That was the crucial part of my career so far. TC has some interviews of foreign coders and they are very interesting to read. Knowing more about our own Indian coders will be more fun, especially for beginners to get inspired. This is the least I can contribute to the wonderful community tha...
