What is Directed Graph?
A Directed Graph, also known as a DiGraph, is a set of vertices and a collection of directed edges. Each directed edge has an initial vertex, also called the tail, and a terminal vertex, also known as the head. The directed edge is said to point from the tail to the head. To visualize this, think of a graph where the nodes are cities and the edges are one-way roads. Directed graphs are often used to represent relationships between objects where direction does matter, such as a sequence of events in a workflow.

Can I learn Directed Graph in Hindi?
This lesson is written in English. Once you sign in, open it in the interactive course and ask the AI tutor to explain Directed Graph in Hindi or Hinglish. The tutor answers from this lesson’s own text, so it stays on the syllabus, and it runs on your own Google, OpenAI or Anthropic key.
Is this Directed Graph tutorial for beginners?
It is lesson 43 of 107 in the free Data Structures & Algorithms roadmap, in stage 9, Graph Data Structures. If you are new to Data Structures & Algorithms, start from stage 1 and come back here in order; if you already know the earlier stages, this lesson stands on its own.
