graphs-asaqib1 1.0.0

A small homework assignment to navigate through creating a python library

Graphs Library: Dijkstra's Shortest Path

This Python library provides an implementation of Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm and other graph-related utilities. The goal of this project is to practice packaging a Python library into a standardized format so it can be easily installed and used.

*graphs_asaqib1/sp.py: Contains the implementation of Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm
*graphs_asaqib1/heapq.py: Helper function for priority queue operations
*test.py: Script to test the library
*pyproject.toml: Packaging configuration
*README.md: This file which contains basic information about this library

Installation:

You can install the package using pip:

pip install asaqib1==1.0.0

Features:

*Finds the shortest paths from a source vertex to all other vertices in a weighted graph
*Supports extension with other graph algorithms
*Uses a min-heap to efficiently select the next vertex with the smallest known distance

Example:

For a graph with 9 vertices, the shortest path from vertex 0 to vertex 1 may have a cost of 4, and to vertex 8 may have a cost of 14.
