I always enjoy these explainers that use computer science terms.
In this case, you can be more precise about the type of graph: double-entry accounting creates a Directed[0] Bipartite Graph[1] with Labelled Edges[2]. Every edge is between a Transaction and an Account nodes, which makes it bipartite, and the amounts are edge labels.

- feoren 3y agoNo, it's not bipartite. in this article, every edge is between two Accounts. One edge is one transaction; one node is one account. Don't try to make transactions nodes, ew.
