Python Program to Implement Graph

This is a Python program to implement a graph.

Problem Description

The program creates a Graph data structure and allows the user to add vertices and edges to it.

Problem Solution

1. Create a class Graph.
2. Create a class Vertex.
3. Each object of Vertex has two instance variables, key and points_to.
4. key is the value of the Vertex object.
5. points_to is a dictionary with keys being the Vertex objects that the current object points to. Each such Vertex object pointed to by the current object is mapped to the weight of the corresponding directed edge.
6. The class Vertex provides methods to get the key, to add a neighbour, to get all neighbours, to get the weight of a directed edge and to test whether a vertex is a neigbour of the current Vertex object.
7. The class Graph has one instance variable, vertices.
8. vertices is a dictionary that contains vertex values mapped to their corresponding Vertex objects. Each Vertex object also stores the vertex value in its key instance variable.
9. The class Graph provides methods to add a vertex with a given key, get the Vertex object with a given key, test whether a vertex with a given key is in the Graph, add an edge between two vertices given their keys and weight and test whether an edge exists between two vertices given their keys. The __iter__ method is implemented to allow iteration over the Vertex objects in the graph.
10. If whenever edge (u, v) is added to the graph, the reverse edge (v, u) is also added, then this would become the implementation of an undirected graph.

Program/Source Code

Here is the source code of a Python program to implement a graph. The program output is shown below.

Program Explanation

1. An instance of Graph is created.
2. The user is presented with a menu to perform various operations on the graph.
3. The corresponding methods are called to perform each operation.
4. The operations are: add vertex with a given key, add edge from a source vertex to a destination vertex (optionally with weight specified, otherwise weight=1 is assumed) and to display the all vertices and edges in the graph.
