What is the purpose of Prim's algorithm?
💡 Hint: Think about the graph properties it aims to optimize.
True or False: Prim's algorithm can result in different Minimum Spanning Trees if edge weights are duplicated.
💡 Hint: Review how edge selection can vary in such cases.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are given a graph with weights: (1,2,3), (1,3,4), (2,4,5), (3,4,1). Using Prim's algorithm, outline the steps taken to determine the MST and list the edges selected.
💡 Hint: Remember to always choose the edge with the smallest weight that connects the current tree.
In a scenario where edge weights have duplicates, how would you ensure that the same MST is produced in multiple iterations?
💡 Hint: Consider how sorting could help manage your edge choices.
