Hi there! Today I implemented Djikstra’s algorithm to find the minimum path between one source vertex and all the other vertices in the graph. This algorithm was devised in 1956 by the Dutch computer scientist Edsger W. Djikstra. It is quite fast having a complexity of $O(n\log n)$ when implemented with an auxiliary heap structure.
To implement the heap in Go, I made use of the package heap. The package website also has an example of how to use and mine is basically a copy of it....
Hi there! Today’s program aims to solve the minimum cut problem. It is another one that I learned in Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Part 1 course from Coursera. A cut is partition of a graph and partitioning a graph means dividing it into two disjoint subsets of vertices. The minimum cut then would be such that the number of edges going from one partition to the other is minimal. Below is a simple example of a graph with 4 nodes....
Hi there! Today’s challenge is another algorithm that I learned more in detail in the Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Part 1 course from Coursera: QuickSort. This algorithm chooses a pivot and does a partial sort around that pivot, having all elements less than the pivot to its left and all greater to its right, considering we want the number in increasing order. The main function is qsort which calls the function to choose a pivot and another to partition around the pivot....
Hi there! Today’s post is not from HackerRank. This was an assignment that I solved for the Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Part 1 course from Coursera. The goal is to implement an algorithm presented in the videos. It was explained in high level and not considering edge cases. I first tried to do it in C++ but it was taking me more time than I wanted to spend and then I switched to Go and it was blazing fast to code....
