Detailed Steps of Dijkstra’s
Algorithm
• 1. Start with the source node and set its
distance to 0.
• 2. Set the distance to all other nodes to
infinity.
• 3. Mark all nodes as unvisited.
• 4. Select the unvisited node with the smallest
distance.
• 5. Update the distances of its neighbors.
• 6. Mark the current node as visited.
