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

In this program a random graph is generated for random vertices and edges. The time complexity of this program is O(v * e). Where v is the number of vertices and e is the number of edges.

Algorithm

Begin
   Develop a function GenRandomGraphs(), with ‘e’ as the
   number of edges and ‘v’ as the number of vertexes, in the argument list.
      Assign random values to the number of vertex and edges of the graph,
   using rand() function.
      Print the connections of each vertex, irrespective of the
      direction.
      Print “Isolated vertex” for the vertex having no degree.
End

Example

#include<iostream>
#include<stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
void GenRandomGraphs(int NOEdge, int NOVertex)
{
   int i, j, edge[NOEdge][2], count;
   i = 0;
   //Assign random values to the number of vertex and edges
   of the graph, Using rand().
   while(i < NOEdge)
   {
      edge[i][0] = rand()%NOVertex+1;
      edge[i][1] = rand()%NOVertex+1;
      //Print the connections of each vertex, irrespective of
      the direction.
      if(edge[i][0] == edge[i][1])
         continue;
      else
      {
         for(j = 0; j < i; j++)
         {
            if((edge[i][0] == edge[j][0] &&
            edge[i][1] == edge[j][1]) || (edge[i][0] == edge[j][1] &&
            edge[i][1] == edge[j][0]))
            i--;
         }
      }i
      ++;
   }
   cout<<"\nThe generated random graph is: ";
   for(i = 0; i < NOVertex; i++)
   {
      count = 0;
      cout<<"\n\t"<<i+1<<"-> { ";
      for(j = 0; j < NOEdge; 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== NOEdge-1 && count == 0)
         cout<<"Isolated Vertex!"; //Print “Isolated vertex” for the vertex having no degree.
      }
      cout<<" }";
   }
}
int main()
{
   int i, e, n;
   cout<<"Random graph generation: ";
   n= 7 + rand()%6;
   cout<<"\nThe graph has "<<n<<" vertices";
   e = rand()%((n*(n-1))/2);
   cout<<"\nand has "<<e<<" edges.";
   GenRandomGraphs(e, n);
}

Output

Random graph generation:
The graph has 8 vertices
and has 18 edges.
The generated random graph is:
1-> { 5 4 2 }
2-> { 4 8 6 3 1 5 }
3-> { 5 4 7 2 }
4-> { 2 3 7 1 8 5 }
5-> { 3 1 7 4 2 8 }
6-> { 2 8 7 }
7-> { 4 3 5 6 }
8-> { 2 6 4 5 }
