Challenge: Minimum Spanning Trees
Challenge your knowledge about minimum spanning trees in this lesson.
We'll cover the following...
Let's practice what we've learned so far.
Task
Suppose we’re given both an undirected graph with weighted edges and a minimum spanning tree of . Provide code to update the minimum spanning tree when the weight of a single edge is decreased. We can follow the algorithm described below.
Logic building
Here’s the algorithm to update the minimum spanning tree when the weight of a single edge is decreased:
Algorithm
- Identify the two nodes and
