## 💡 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
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
```
