Shortest Path Algorithms are methods used in computer science to find the most efficient route between two points in a graph. A graph consists of nodes (or vertices) connected by edges, which can represent various scenarios, such as road networks or data connections. These algorithms help determine the least costly path, whether in terms of distance, time, or other metrics. Common examples of shortest path algorithms include Dijkstra's Algorithm and Bellman-Ford Algorithm. Dijkstra's Algorithm is particularly effective for graphs with non-negative edge weights, while Bellman-Ford can handle graphs with negative weights. These algorithms are widely used in navigation systems, network routing, and logistics.
