Shortest Path Algorithm

/ˈʃɔːrtɪst pæθ ˈælɡərɪðm/noun
ELI5 mode

A shortest path algorithm is a computational method designed to determine the path between two points in a graph that minimizes the total distance or cost, making it essential for efficient routing in networks. Beyond basic graphs, it adapts to real-world scenarios like traffic optimization or logistics, where factors like variable speeds or obstacles add layers of complexity and practicality.
