Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a directed graph with the following edges: A -> B (weight 2), B -> C (weight 3), A -> C (weight 5), C -> B (weight -4). Determine the shortest paths between all pairs using the Floyd-Warshall algorithm.

💡 Hint: Visualize the graph and iteratively apply the Floyd-Warshall updates.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain how the Floyd-Warshall algorithm can identify graphs with negative cycles, and outline an approach to modify the algorithm for cycle detection.

💡 Hint: Think about how paths get calculated and where each vertex sits in their transitions.
