Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is the primary purpose of Dijkstra's algorithm?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that a graph is made up of nodes (points) and edges (connections between points).
Step 2: Recognize that some edges have weights, which represent costs or distances.
Step 3: Identify a starting point in the graph, called the source node.
Step 4: Dijkstra's algorithm helps to find the shortest distance from the source node to every other node in the graph.
Step 5: The algorithm works by exploring all possible paths from the source node and keeping track of the shortest distances found.
Step 6: At the end, you will have the shortest path from the source node to all other nodes.
