Given N number of vertices of a Graph. The task is to find the total number of edges possible in a complete graph of N vertices.
Complete Graph: A Complete Graph is a graph in which every pair of vertices is connected by an edge.
Examples:
Input : N = 3 Output : Edges = 3 Input : N = 5 Output : Edges = 10
The total number of possible edges in a complete graph of N vertices can be given as,
Total number of edges in a complete graph of N vertices = ( n * ( n - 1 ) ) / 2
Example 1: Below is a complete graph with N = 5 vertices.

The total number of edges in the above complete graph = 10 = (5)*(5-1)/2.
Implementation:
// C++ implementation to find the
// number of edges in a complete graph
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// Function to find the total number of
// edges in a complete graph with N vertices
int totEdge(int n)
{
int result = 0;
result = (n * (n - 1)) / 2;
return result;
}
// Driver Code
int main()
{
int n = 6;
cout << totEdge(n);
return 0;
}
// Java implementation to find the
// number of edges in a complete graph
class GFG {
// Function to find the total number of
// edges in a complete graph with N vertices
static int totEdge(int n)
{
int result = 0;
result = (n * (n - 1)) / 2;
return result;
}
// Driver Code
public static void main(String []args)
{
int n = 6;
System.out.println(totEdge(n));
}
}
