Program to find total number of edges in a Complete Graph

Last Updated : 2 Sep, 2022

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++
// 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
// 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));
    }

}
Python 3
# Python 3 implementation to  
# find the number of edges 
# in a complete graph 

# Function to find the total 
# number of edges in a complete
# graph with N vertices
def totEdge(n) :

    result = (n * (n - 1)) // 2

    return result
            
# Driver Code
if __name__ == "__main__" :

    n = 6

    print(totEdge(n))

// 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()
{
    int n = 6;
    Console.Write(totEdge(n));

    $result = ($n * ($n - 1)) / 2; 

    return $result; 
}

function totEdge(n)
{
    var result = 0;

    result = (n * (n - 1)) / 2;

    return result;
}

// Driver Code
var n = 6;
document.write( totEdge(n));

</script>

Output
