    The Floyd-Warshall algorithm finds the shortest distances between all pairs of vertices in a weighted graph. It works by initializing a distance matrix using the graph's edges, then iteratively updating the matrix by considering each vertex as an intermediate node on paths between other vertices. This allows it to determine the transitive closure of the graph by finding the shortest distances between all vertex pairs that result from paths of any length between them.

    Floyd-Warshall Algorithm

    Overview:
    Floyd-Warshall Algorithm, is a dynamic programming technique used for finding the
    transitive closure of a directed graph. It determines the reachability between all pairs of
    vertices in a graph, providing information about the accessibility of one vertex from
    another.
    Algorithm Steps:
    1. Initialize the Distance Matrix:
    Create a matrix representing the distance between vertices. Set
    D

    D[i][j] = weight(i, j)if there is a direct edge from to , and


    i j if there is
    D[i][j] = ∞

    no direct edge.
    2. Update the Distance Matrix:
    Iterate through all vertices and update
    k D[i][j] to be the minimum of and
    D[i][j]

    .
    D[i][k] + D[k][j]

    3. Transitive Closure Matrix:


    The resulting matrix represents the transitive closure of the graph, where
    D D[i][j]

    is the shortest distance from vertex to vertex .


    i j

    Example:
    Consider the following directed graph:

    Step 1:
    Initialize the Distance[][] matrix using the input graph such that Distance[i][j] =
    weight of edge from i to j , also Distance[i][j] = Infinity if there is no edge from
    i to j.

    Step 2:
    Treat node A as an intermediate node and calculate the Distance[][] for every {i,j} node
    pair using the formula:
    `Distance[i][j] = minimum (Distance[i][j], (Distance from i to A) + (Distance from A to j))
    `Distance[i][j] = minimum (Distance[i][j], Distance[i][A] + Distance[A][j])

    Step 3:
    Treat node B as an intermediate node and calculate the Distance[][] for every {i,j} node
    pair using the formula:
    `Distance[i][j] = minimum (Distance[i][j], (Distance from i to B) + (Distance from B to j))
    `Distance[i][j] = minimum (Distance[i][j], Distance[i][B] + Distance[B][j])
    Step 4:
    Treat node C as an intermediate node and calculate the Distance[][] for every {i,j} node
    pair using the formula:
    `Distance[i][j] = minimum (Distance[i][j], (Distance from i to C) + (Distance from C to j))
    `Distance[i][j] = minimum (Distance[i][j], Distance[i][C] + Distance[C][j])

    Step 5:
    Treat node D as an intermediate node and calculate the Distance[][] for every {i,j} node
    pair using the formula:
    `Distance[i][j] = minimum (Distance[i][j], (Distance from i to D) + (Distance from D to j))
    `Distance[i][j] = minimum (Distance[i][j], Distance[i][D] + Distance[D][j])

    Step 6:
    Treat node E as an intermediate node and calculate the Distance[][] for every {i,j} node
    pair using the formula:
    `Distance[i][j] = minimum (Distance[i][j], (Distance from i to E) + (Distance from E to j))
    `Distance[i][j] = minimum (Distance[i][j], Distance[i][E] + Distance[E][j])

    Step 7:
    Since all the nodes have been treated as an intermediate node, we can now return the
    updated Distance[][] matrix as our answer matrix.

    Conclusion:
    Warshall's Algorithm is a versatile method for determining the transitive closure of a
    directed graph. It is particularly useful in applications where reachability between vertices
    needs to be efficiently computed.
