Program to find total number of edges in a Complete Graph

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.

Below is the implementation of the above idea:
