Weighted Graph:
A graph is termed as weighted graph if each edge of the graph is assigned a weight. The weighted edges stored in the weighted graphs can be stored in adjacency lists.
Weighted edges can be represented using a two-dimensional array. An weighted edge can be represented as “WeightedEdge(u,v,w)”, where “u” and “v” are edges and “w” represents the weight between them.
Example of storing edge in a weighted graph:
Object[][] edges =
{ new Integer(0), new Integer(1), new SomeTypeForWeight(8) };
Prim’s
Prim’s Algorithm is a greedy algorithm that finds a minimum spanning tree for a weighted undirected graph by finding a subset of the edges that forms a tree that includes every vertex, where the total weight of all the edges in the tree is minimized.
