C++ Program to Implement Edmonds Karp Algorithm

This C++ program implements the Edmonds_Karp Algorithm which is used to compute the maximum flow between the sink and source vertex. It is the same as the Ford-Fulkersson Algorithm except that it uses breadth first search to reduce time complexity.

Here is the source code of the C++ program to display the maximum flow by giving the sink and source nodes as input along with the directed graph. This C++ program is successfully compiled and run on DevCpp, a C++ compiler.The program output is given below.
