Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a graph with vertices A, B, C, D, and E with specified edge weights, illustrate step-by-step how Dijkstra's Algorithm would find the shortest path from A to all other nodes.
💡 Hint: Use the burn analogy to visualize the process.
Analyze a real-world logistics problem where Dijkstra's Algorithm could be applied. Describe the graph, the vertices, and edge weights, then compute the shortest path from the main warehouse to various retail stores.
💡 Hint: Consider practical constraints like delivery times or traffic conditions.
