## Graph algorithms
|
|
|
|
Graph algorithms are a set of instructions that traverse (visits nodes of a) graph.
|
|
|
|
Some algorithms are used to find a specific node or the path between two given nodes.
|
|
|
|
### Why Graph Algorithms are Important
|
|
|
|
Graphs are very useful data structures which can be to model various problems. These algorithms have direct applications on Social Networking sites, State Machine modeling and many more.
|
|
|
|
### Some Common Graph Algorithms

|
Some of the most common graph algorithms are:
