"""
An edge is a bridge if, after removing it count of connected components in graph will
be increased by one. Bridges represent vulnerabilities in a connected network and are
useful for designing reliable networks. For example, in a wired computer network, an
articulation point indicates the critical computers and a bridge indicates the critical
wires or connections.
