Question

Given the following circuit diagram and the cost for each circuit.

What is the least cost path for communications between point A and Z?

What path has the minimum amount of hops?

           - D - - - - E - - - - F -

         -           -             -

       -           -               -

     A - - - - - - G - - - - - - - - Z

     -                             -

        -                         -

         H - - - - - - - - I - -

           Link   Cost

           A - D - 2

           D - E - 3

           E - F - 6

           F - Z - 3

           A - G - 8

           E - G - 1

          G - Z - 4      

           A - H - 6

           H - I - 4

           I - Z - 2

Explanation / Answer

the shortest path between two hops can be found using the modified Dijkstra's algorithm.

the shortest path between a to z is

A-D-E-G-Z is 10 which is lesser than any other path.

the path with the minimum number of hops is A-G-Z having only one hop in between
