Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm

Hello, this is #day_29, I'm going to talk about Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm

Definition of Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm

dijkstra's shortest path is an algorithm created by Dr. Edsger Dijkstra for calculating the shortest path between vertices in a weighted graph (types of graph)

Example of a weighted graph

Dijkstra's shortest path applications

Road networks
Electricity lines
Google maps
Social networking apps
