In today's video, we master Prim’s Algorithm, a powerful Greedy approach to find the Minimum Cost Spanning Tree (MCST) of a graph.
Unlike Kruskal’s, which picks the smallest edges from anywhere in the graph, Prim's grows the spanning tree from a starting vertex, always reaching out to the nearest neighbor. This "growing" logic is essential for your DAA exams and technical interviews!
What we cover in this video:
The Core Logic: Starting from a root vertex and expanding greedily.
Step-by-Step Example: Solving a numerical problem using a distance table.
Edge Selection: How to pick the minimum weight edge connected to the "visited" set.
Complexity: A look at $O(V^2)$ or $O(E \log V)$.Prim’s vs. Kruskal’s: A quick comparison to help you choose the right algorithm.📝 Download the handwritten notes for Prim's Algorithm from the link below!🚀 Join our 60-Day Engineering Challenge and master the DAA syllabus.
