C++ Program to Create a Random Graph using Random Edge Generation

This is a C++ program to generate a random undirected graph for a given number of edges.

Problem Description

1. This algorithm generates a undirected random graph for the given edges ‘e’.
2. Basically it implements on a big network.
3. The time complexity of this algorithm is O(log(n)).

Problem Solution

1. This algorithm takes the input of the number of edges ‘e’.
2. It connects vertexes randomly and generate cyclic, acyclic or disconnected graphs.

Program/Source Code

C++ Program to generate a random undirected graph for a given number of edges.
This program is successfully run on Dev-C++ using TDM-GCC 4.9.2 MinGW compiler on a Windows system.

#include<iostream>
#include<stdlib.h>
 
// The maximum number of vertex for the sample random graph.
#define NOV 20
 
using namespace std;
 
// A function to generate random graph.
void GenerateRandGraphs(int e)
{
	int i, j, edge[e][2], count;
 
	i = 0;
	// Build a connection between two random vertex.
	while(i < e)
	{
		edge[i][0] = rand()%NOV+1;
		edge[i][1] = rand()%NOV+1;
		i++;
	}
 
	// Print the random graph.
	cout<<"\nThe generated random graph is: ";
	for(i = 0; i < NOV; i++)
	{
		count = 0;
		cout<<"\n\t"<<i+1<<"-> { ";
		for(j = 0; j < e; j++)
		{
			if(edge[j][0] == i+1)
			{
				cout<<edge[j][1]<<"   ";
				count++;
			}
			else if(edge[j][1] == i+1)
			{
				cout<<edge[j][0]<<"   ";
				count++;
			}
			else if(j == e-1 && count == 0)
				cout<<"Isolated Vertex!";
		}
		cout<<" }";
	}	
}
 
 
int main()
{
	int n, i ,e;
 
	cout<<"Enter the number of edges for the random graphs: ";
	cin>>e;
 
	// A function to generate random undirected graph with e edges.
	GenerateRandGraphs(e);
}

Program Explanation

1. Take the input of the number of edges for the random graph.
2. Call GenerateRandGraphs(), with ‘e’ as the number edges in the argument list.
3. Inside GenerateRandGraphs(), generate a connection between two random numbers, for sample a small case, limit the number of vertex to 20.
4. Print all the connection of each vertexes, irrespective of the direction.
5. Print “Isolated vertex” for the vertex having zero degree.
6. Exit.

Runtime Test Cases
