Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a graph with vertices A, B, C, D, and edges with various weights including negative ones. Apply the Floyd-Warshall algorithm and determine all-pairs shortest paths.
💡 Hint: Start initializing your weights based on direct edges then iterate through the vertex combinations.
Discuss the implications of allowing negative weights in graphs. What types of real-world scenarios can affect the shortest path calculations?
💡 Hint: Think about situations like city planning where costs might fluctuate or topographical changes could affect distances.
