Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a graph with vertices labeled A to E, and weights as follows: A-B: 1, A-C: 5, B-C: 2, B-D: 4, C-D: 1, C-E: 3, D-E: 2. Determine the shortest path from A to E using Dijkstra's algorithm.

💡 Hint: Draw the graph and systematically calculate distances while burning vertices.

Question 2

Create a graph with at least one negative edge but without a negative cycle. Apply Dijkstra's algorithm and explain the outcome.

💡 Hint: Define distances carefully to see where the pitfalls are.
