Dijkstra's Algorithm is an algorithm for finding the shortest path between any two vertices of a graph. It differs from the minimum spanning tree because the shortest distance between two vertices might not include all the vertices of the graph. The Dijkstra algorithm uses labels that are positive integers or real numbers, which are totally ordered. It can be generalized to use any labels that are partially ordered, provided the subsequent labels (a subsequent label is produced when traversing an edge) are monotonically non-decreasing. This generalization is called the generic Dijkstra shortest-path algorithm.
Time Complexity: O(E log V)
where, E is the number of edges and V is the number of vertices.
Space Complexity: O(V)
