Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a weighted graph with vertices representing cities and edges as roads with costs, outline how you would employ Dijkstra’s algorithm to find the least expensive route from City A to City C.
💡 Hint: Visualize the graph and track costs methodically.
Create a unique scenario with a weighted graph where Dijkstra’s algorithm may produce different outcomes when edge weights are modified.
💡 Hint: Think about real-life implications, like changing speed limits affecting travel time.
