Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Modify the Floyd-Warshall algorithm to handle graphs with different weight ranges or constraints. Describe the thought process and adjustments needed.
💡 Hint: Think about how constraints might affect path calculations.
Create a graph with four vertices and specific weights, then manually apply the Floyd-Warshall algorithm step-by-step. Illustrate the changes at each stage.
💡 Hint: Keep track of which vertex is serving as an intermediary at each step.
