Bellman Ford Shortest Path Problem
Given a directed weighted graph comprised of vertices labeled 1 to N and M edges, where each edge connects two nodes u and v with a weight w representing the distance between them.
Your task is to calculate the shortest path length from a specified source vertex (src
) to a destination vertex (dest
). The graph may contain edges with negative weights.
Example:
Input:
3 3 1 3
1 2 2
1 3 2
2 3 -1
Output:
1
Explanation:
In the given graph, the shortest path from vertex 1 to vertex 3 is 1->2->3 with a total weight of 2 - 1 = 1.
Constraints:
- The graph does not have self-loops or multiple edges.
- No negative weight cycles are present in the graph.
1 <= T <= 10
(number of test cases)1 <= N <= 50
(number of vertices)1 <= M <= 300
(number of edges)1 <= src, dest <= N
(source and destination vertex)1 <= u,v <= N
-10^5 <= w <= 10^5
(edge weight)- Time Limit: 1 second
Input:
The first line contains an integer ‘T’ representing the number of test cases.
Each test case starts with four space-separated integers ‘N’, ‘M’, ‘src’, and ‘dest’, representing the number of vertices, number of edges, source vertex, and destination vertex.
Output:
For each test case, return an integer representing the shortest path length from ‘src’ to ‘dest’. If no path is available, return 10^9.
Note:
You do not need to print anything; this will be handled for you. Focus on implementing the function to find the solution.
