Question 1

What is the main advantage of Warshall's algorithm over the naive method?

  • It uses less memory
  • It runs faster with O(n^3) complexity
  • It is easier to implement

💡 Hint: Think about how the running time compares when processing large matrices.

Question 2

True or False: In Warshall's algorithm, if there’s a path from node A to node B, it implies A can reach B through any intermediate nodes.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember the definition of intermediate nodes.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Assume a graph has the following directed edges: (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1). Using Warshall's algorithm, compute the transitive closure matrix.

💡 Hint: Ensure to consider every potential intermediate step as you create your matrix.

Question 2

Given the relation R with the following connections: (A, B), (B, C), and (C, D). Create the initial and final matrices using Warshall's algorithm.

💡 Hint: Track how new connections evolve as you implement the steps in Warshall's algorithm.
