Shortest Path Algorithms: BFS and Dijkstra

This lecture covers the concepts of shortest path algorithms, focusing on Breadth-First Search (BFS) and Dijkstra's algorithm. The instructor explains how BFS explores the graph level by level to find the shortest path, while Dijkstra's algorithm uses a priority queue to greedily select the closest node. The lecture also delves into the implementation details of both algorithms, discussing how they handle non-weighted and weighted graphs, and the importance of maintaining data structures to track distances and predecessors.
