S 5 D They start by making A the current vertex and assigning a tentative distance of 5 to B and a tentative distance of 6 to C. Then they mark A as visited, and since B has the lowest tentative distance, they mark B as the current vertex. Next, they update the tentative distance of C to be 5+2=7, and the tentative distance of D to be 5+3=8. Then they mark B as visited and select C (which has the lowest tentative distance) as current.

A student is trying to use Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest path between A and F.
They start by making A the current vertex and assigning a tentative distance of 5 to B and a tentative distance of 6 to C. Then they mark A as visited, and since B has
the lowest tentative distance, they mark B as the current vertex.
Next, they update the tentative distance of C to be 5+2=7, and the tentative distance of D to be 5+3=8. Then they mark B as visited and select C (which has the lowest
tentative distance) as current.
