Arc

java.lang.Object
- org.insa.graphs.model.Arc

Direct Known Subclasses:

ArcBackward, ArcForward
```
public abstract class Arc
extends java.lang.Object
```
Interface representing an arc in the graph. Arc is an interface and not a class to allow us to represent two-ways roads in a memory efficient manner (without having to duplicate attributes).

Arc should never be created manually but always using the Node.linkNodes(Node, Node, float, RoadInformation, java.util.ArrayList) method to ensure proper instantiation of the ArcForward and ArcBackward classes.
