Implementing Dijkstra’s Algorithm using Sedgewick's C++ Code

Image
Introduction Dijkstra's algorithm solves the shortest path problem for a graph with nonnegative edge weights, producing a shortest path tree. This algorithm is often used in routing and as a subroutine in other graph algorithms, the k-shortest paths algorithm, for example.

Priority Queues A priority queue is just like a normal queue data structure except that each element inserted is associated with a ”priority”. It supports the usual push() , pop() , top() etc operations, but is specifically designed so that its first element is always the greatest of the elements it contains, according to some strict weak ordering condition. STL Usage In STL, priority queues take three template parameters: [code language="cpp"] template < class T, class Container = vector<T>, class Compare = less<typename...
