Implementing Dijkstra’s Algorithm in Go
A Beginner’s Guide and Optimization Techniques Graphs are fundamental data structures in computer science, representing relationships between entities. One of the most common problems involving graphs is finding the shortest path between nodes. Dijkstra’s algorithm is a classic solution to this problem for graphs with non-negative edge weights. In this guide, we’ll implement Dijkstra’s algorithm in Go and explore ways to optimize it using advanced data structures.\ Basic Implementation of Dijkstra’s Algorithm Let’s begin by understanding the core concept. Dijkstra’s algorithm maintains a set of nodes whose shortest distance from the source is known and repeatedly selects the node with the minimum distance to explore its neighbors. ...
