Dijkstra Algorithm

The document discusses Dijkstra's algorithm for finding the shortest paths between a source node and all other nodes in a graph. It begins by explaining how the closest, second closest, and third closest nodes are determined. It then outlines the steps of the algorithm, which are to initialize by setting the source node distance to 0 and all other distances to infinity, then repeatedly select the closest unvisited node and update neighboring nodes' distances until all nodes have been visited. An example execution of the algorithm on a sample graph is provided to demonstrate how the distances are updated on each iteration.
