What are practical/real life/industrial applications of Dijkstra, Kruskal, and Prim's Algortithm?
I am wondering if you can tell me about practical applications of Dijkstra, Kruskal, and Prim's algorithms in real life or industry?
Sure! These algorithms are commonly used in network routing, pathfinding, and minimum spanning tree problems. For example, Dijkstra's algorithm is used to find the shortest path between two points in a network, such as in GPS navigation systems. Kruskal and Prim's algorithms are used to find the minimum spanning tree of a connected, weighted graph, which has applications in airline route optimization, telecommunications network design, and more.
