This might be have been uploaded 7 years ago, but it is still extremely helpful. Clear, concise, perfectly explained - I now completely understand this algorithm. Dude - thank you - so much.
Fantastic explanation! I have the task of programming this for my MSc to find shortest path for routes on London underground. Good refresh as I last sat this exam in 2008.
Wow thanks for this, I think I finally understand this algorithm thanks to you. The way you explain it by doing it by hand with those 3 boxes by each node finally let me click into what's going on with opening and closing node lists. Cheers mate, this was extremely helpful.
Noctis Occulta Hiya - thanks loads!!! A favour to ask....Any chance you could spare 30 secs to vote for HegartyMaths in this Richard Branson competition which ends in a few days. Would mean a lot to me and HegartyMaths. www.virginmediabusiness.co.uk/pitch-to-rich/start-up/hegartymaths/ Thanks Mr H
It Helped Me Alot...I Never Went To lectures In Uni... Exam Time I Searched...Selected This One....Trust me Aint Dissapointed...Learnt It First Time...:D :-) :D
Quick note to say thanks for this. Makes learning D1 much, MUCH easier. Good luck on your Branson campaign, might have missed the shortlisting but if you need votes in the future just give a shout.
omgggg I love his teaching and exampling style... I just loved the assignment problem he gave us in the end.. haha wowww thank you sooooooo much!!! HATS OFF FOR YOU :)
Hi Bob - thanks laods for the comment. Really delighted to help and remember there are loads more videos to help with your maths and decision maths at hegartymaths.c.o.m. Best wishes. Mr Hegarty
This channel helped me so much last year in my GCSEs and I got an A in maths, now I'm doing AS maths and further maths in college and I happen to stumble across this channel again. Thank you so much for your videos they are really helpful.
Absieee Delighted to help Absieee - would you be able to spare 30 secs to help me out by voting for my new website coming soon here. Thanks loads - it would mean a lot. Mr H www.virginmediabusiness.co.uk/pitch-to-rich/start-up/hegartymaths/
Hi, I just wanted to say thank you so much! I´m studying in Munich at Technische Universität München and we have a lecture it is called Management Science our professor didn´t tell us about a pattern like this I wonder why. Kind regards from Germany
Thanks Man, It's a good one, only one doubt. While marking a node permanent can't we mark there the last node connection path, like when changing D value from 18 to 17 if we can also add Value B to denote that the path came here is from B. Then we don't have to do the last tracing steps, we can easily take from where it is coming. And I think it will be easy to implement in the code
Instead of labelling the nodes with numbers for the nth label, you could just write down the node you came from for that current node. So when backtracking you just have to read what nodes you came from and don't have to iterate through all adjacent ones for fitting distances. :)
Maybe for a specific class or exam you're required to mis-use that diagram, BUT... The top left box should be used for recording the parent. When you affix the permanent label, use the top left box to record the previous spot. Then it is easy to retrace your steps to find the overall path. Your method of figuring it out is both time-consuming and dangerous. What if there were six (or 60) choices of previous spots all 2 units away. How would you choose?
You are most welcome! Thanks for the feedback. You will find more videos of use at hegartymaths.c.o.m. and ones like this in the Decision Maths section within A-Level Maths. Best wishes. Mr Hegarty
What if the starting nodes has 2 edges (vertices) coming off it which are weighted equally? If you choose one over the other you might not get the shortest path!
I need this same code, but in Visual Basic Excel. I intend to formalize a date or be a Matrix of distance between streets or houses in a city. Very urgently .. It is Dijkstra Algorithm.
It's not based on the graphical representation, inches is just a way of representing the weights of the arcs. i.e. It's not drawn to scale. Hope that clears it up a bit.
My only difference is for C it is number 8, and G is number 7. But I still get the same answer, is that correct? Because there were two nodes with a path of 18, so I chose the one closest.

It is done
It Helped Me Alot...I Never Went To lectures In Uni... Exam Time I Searched...Selected This One....Trust me Aint Dissapointed...Learnt It First Time...:D :-) :D
Coming back to this now as a second year computer science student - memories! This is still a helpful clear refresher! Thanks!
You are most welcome! Glad if my video helped! Cheers. Mr Hegarty

Hi Bob - thanks laods for the comment. Really delighted to help and remember there are loads more videos to help with your maths and decision maths at hegartymaths.c.o.m. Best wishes. Mr Hegarty
That's why you work backwards at the end to determine the shortest path as this finds the exact one for you.
Great video, got my exam in 10 hours so very helpful!
Cheers. Glad to have helped! Mr Hegarty
That was an incredibly helpful presentation. Thank you very much!
Hi. Thank you for taking your time in making this tutorial. Its highly appreciated.
This channel helped me so much last year in my GCSEs and I got an A in maths, now I'm doing AS maths and further maths in college and I happen to stumble across this channel again.
Thank you so much for your videos they are really helpful.
How did it go?
Thank you very much for explaining this so much better than my lecturer! :)

Hi,
I just wanted to say thank you so much! I´m studying in Munich at Technische Universität München and we have a lecture it is called Management Science our professor didn´t tell us about a pattern like this I wonder why.
Kind regards from Germany
Thank you so much! This video cleared up all my confusion about this algorithm

What if there were six (or 60) choices of previous spots all 2 units away. How would you choose?
Q-In example 1, when tracing back, can you go from D to F as 7-5=2, which is also the weight of the arc?
Cool Tutorial ..I wanted to know what if we applied Dijkstra's Algo to graphs with negative edges but no -ve cycle .
Thank you and you're very welcome!
I was quite confusing in Dijkstra but with this easy going video I am doing well with :) .Thanks :)
gud explanation........very clear...easy to understand....thnk u......:-)
Godly explaination. Thank you good sir
You are most welcome! Thanks for the feedback. You will find more videos of use at hegartymaths.c.o.m. and ones like this in the Decision Maths section within A-Level Maths. Best wishes. Mr Hegarty
Hj, which software can i use to make the graph and get the boxes to work through the algorithm on a computer?
What if the starting nodes has 2 edges (vertices) coming off it which are weighted equally? If you choose one over the other you might not get the shortest path!
Thanks, made me understand about greedy algorithm
A tutorial that instantly made me "catch" the whole process after 2 days of pointless research. Hat down. =)
This is going to sound a silly question but why did you make b the 3rd distance and not d?
I need this same code, but in Visual Basic Excel. I intend to formalize a date or be a Matrix of distance between streets or houses in a city. Very urgently .. It is Dijkstra Algorithm.
The textbook is so confusing for this one
Where I and D are the same value does it matter if I got I as node 5?
thank you so much sirrrrrrrrrrr..iam very wek student but i was easily understand
I don't understand, how can can the line EG be 2 inches and be longer than the line CE which is 5 inches long but shorter.
It's not based on the graphical representation, inches is just a way of representing the weights of the arcs. i.e. It's not drawn to scale. Hope that clears it up a bit.
My only difference is for C it is number 8, and G is number 7. But I still get the same answer, is that correct? Because there were two nodes with a path of 18, so I chose the one closest.
Very useful method! Thanks!

nice work! thank you for your time
yes we also create tables and stuff.....
But this approach is better...
Why is it important to write down order, in which I label it as permanent? (sorry for bad english)
Awesome video thank you so much!!!
you are most welcome! Mr H
You are the man! Thanks buddy!
Do you have videos on standard form

nice
what a champ
Thank you sir ,u jst saved me
