Bellman-Ford Algorithm in Java: Shortest Paths with Negative Weights

While Dijkstra's algorithm is faster for most shortest-path problems, it fails when the graph contains negative edge weights. For those scenarios, we use the Bellman-Ford algorithm. Not only does it handle negative weigh…

Dijkstra's Algorithm in Java: Finding the Shortest Path

Dijkstra's algorithm is the industry standard for finding the shortest path from a starting node to all other nodes in a graph with non-negative edge weights. Whether you are building a navigation system like Google Maps…

Floyd-Warshall Algorithm in Java: All-Pairs Shortest Paths

While Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest path from a single source to all other nodes, the Floyd-Warshall algorithm finds the shortest paths between all pairs of vertices in a weighted graph. It is a classic example…

BFS (Breadth First Search) in Java: Level-Order and Shortest Path

Introduction to Breadth First Search (BFS) Breadth First Search (BFS) is a fundamental algorithm for traversing or searching tree or graph data structures. Unlike DFS, which explores as deeply as possible along each bran…
