What It Looks Like

Recognition signals — when you see these, think of this structure:

  • 1Dots connected by lines
  • 2Network or connection diagram
  • 3Questions about how many connections
🎯

What It Really Tests

The core mathematical idea behind this structure:

A graph's structure becomes clear when you count each node's degree (number of connections).

给每个节点标上度数 (连接数), 图的结构就清晰了。

⚠️

Why Students Get Stuck

Common mistakes to watch out for:

  • Judging by visual feeling instead of counting
  • Missing one edge in the count
  • Confusing nodes with edges
💡

Your First Step

How to begin thinking about problems with this structure:

Label every node with its degree number.

给每个节点标上它的度数。
