3. The time complexity of this algorithm is O(v*v).

Problem Solution

1. This algorithm takes the input of the number of vertex and edges.
2. Take the input of connected vertex pairs.
3. Print the graph using 2D arrays.
4. Exit.

Program/Source Code

C++ program to represent graph using 2D arrays.
This program is successfully run on Dev-C++ using TDM-GCC 4.9.2 MinGW compiler on a Windows system.

	cout<<"\n\n";
 
	// Print 1 if the corresponding vertexes are connected otherwise 0.

	}
 
	cout<<"\nEnter the number of edges of the graph: ";
	cin>>e;
 
	// Take the input of the adjacent vertex pairs of the given graph.
	for(i = 0; i < e; i++)
	{
		cout<<"\nEnter the vertex pair for edge "<<i+1;
		cout<<"\nV(1): ";
		cin>>v1;
		cout<<"V(2): ";
		cin>>v2;
 
		graph[v1-1][v2-1] = 1;
		graph[v2-1][v1-1] = 1;

	// Print the 2D array representation of the graph.
	PrintMat(graph, v);
}
Program Explanation

1. Take the input of the number of vertex ‘v’ and edges ‘e’.
2. Dynamically assign memory to the graph[][] matrix.
3. Take the input of ‘e’ pairs of vertexes of the given graph in graph[][].
4. For each pair of connected vertex(v1, v2), store 1 int the graph[][] at the index (v1,v2) and (v2, v1).
5. Print the matrix using PrintMat().
6. Exit.
