Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Model a simple graph with at least 5 vertices and varying edge weights, and apply Dijkstra’s algorithm. What would the shortest paths from a source vertex look like?
💡 Hint: Sketch the graph out and label the weights before starting the algorithm.
Design a scenario where you compare single-source shortest paths to all pairs shortest paths in a real-world context. Discuss implications in decision-making.
💡 Hint: Think about how each situation might change based on the approach taken.
