How can you show two graphs are isomorphic?
Match up vertex degrees and the edge set.
What is a walk in relation to graphs?

How can you remember that a trail is where no edge is visited more than once?
It’s an “Eulerian trail”, not “Eulerian path”.

A walk in which no vertex is visited more than once.
