Freaks City

Problem A: Road Construction Description There are n initially isolated cities. In each round, every city connects to its nearest neighbor. If a cycle formss during a round, the shortest edge in that cycle is removed. Once cities are connected, they form a "union" and act as a single entity in subsequent rounds. The process continues ...

Prim's Algorithm for Minimum Spanning Trees Prim's algorithm utilizes a distance array where dist[j] represents the shortest distance from node j to the current connected component. The process begins by selecting an arbitrary starting node and initializing distances to all other nodes. Algorithm Steps: Initialize all distances to infinity exc ...
