Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a graph with nodes labeled A to E, and edges with weights between them. Create a minimal spanning tree using Kruskal's algorithm and explain each step.

💡 Hint: You may need to visualize the edges while doing this.

Question 2

Create a modified version of Kruskal's algorithm that can handle weighted edges with equal importance at each step.

💡 Hint: Think about scenarios where edges might have the same weight.
