Java Program to Find the Edge Connectivity of a Graph

This is a java program find the edge connectivity of the given graph. The edge connectivity simply means, number of bridges in a graph, bridges are edges when removed makes the graph disconnected.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Find the Edge Connectivity of a Graph. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
