This article deals with the explicit computation of the Cheeger constant and its connection to understanding the properties of some classes of graphs. Cheeger constant is a measure of the connectivity or disconnectivity of graphs and gives the best possible way to cut a graph. More precisely, we deal with the problem of splitting the graph into two large components of approximately equal volumes by making a small cut, which is the idea of Cheeger constant of a graph. We computed the Cheeger
