Java Program to Create a Random Graph using Random Edge Generation

This is a java program to generate a random graph by generating random number of edges. One important thing to note here is, that we need to decide minimum and maximum number of nodes such that all edges get accommodated. Minimum number of vertices is positive solution to n(n-1) = 2e, where e is number of edges and maximum number of vertices is e+1.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Create a Random Graph Using Random Edge Generation. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
