## 💡 Quick Start

```rust
use aprender::graph::Graph;

// Pathfinding
let g = Graph::from_weighted_edges(&[(0,1,1.0), (1,2,2.0), (0,2,5.0)], false);
let (path, dist) = g.dijkstra(0, 2).expect("path exists");
// path = [0, 1, 2], dist = 3.0 (cheaper than direct 0→2)

// A* with heuristic
let heuristic = |node| match node {
    0 => 2.0,  // estimate to target
    1 => 1.0,
    2 => 0.0,  // at target
    _ => 0.0,
};
let path = g.a_star(0, 2, heuristic).expect("path exists");

// Components & Traversal
let g2 = Graph::from_edges(&[(0,1), (1,2), (2,0), (2,3)], true);
let sccs = g2.strongly_connected_components();  // Detect cycles
let topo = g2.topological_sort();  // None (has cycle)

// Community Detection
let g3 = Graph::from_edges(&[(0,1), (1,2), (2,0), (3,4), (4,5), (5,3)], false);
let communities = g3.label_propagation(10, Some(42));  // 2 communities

// Link Prediction
let cn = g3.common_neighbors(0, 3).expect("nodes exist");  // Count
let aa = g3.adamic_adar_index(0, 3).expect("nodes exist");  // Weighted score
```
