The guest lecture on shortest path algorithms and Dijkstra’s approach provides a comprehensive understanding of pathfinding strategies, emphasizing real-world applications and hands-on implementation. The session began with an overview of graph theory fundamentals, laying a foundation for understanding how shortest path algorithms work in different graph structures. In Dijkstra’s algorithm, the step-by-step approach are discussd in identifying the shortest path between nodes in a weighted graph by selecting nodes with the smallest known distance and efficiently updating neighboring paths. The demonstrations were particularly impactful, allowing participants to follow the algorithm’s implementation in real-time. Students observed the practical use of priority queues for node selection, efficient data structures, and best practices for code optimization. Real-world applications were emphasized, including examples in network routing, GPS navigation, and logistics, making the lecture relevant to various industries.
