Vertices are the building blocks of any graph. They're like the individual nodes on a network, the points on a map, or the atoms in a molecule. But let's be real, they're also like the awkward moments in life where you realize you've got 17 tabs open on your browser and you're pretty sure you'll never get to any of them.
Edges, on the other hand, are the connections between those vertices. They're like the threads that weave together the fabric of society, or the fibers that connect the threads in a sweater. But have you ever noticed how some of these edges are just, like, stuck in a corner and never get used? Yeah, same here, same everywhere, same every time.
