Quiz on minimum spanning tree, Kruskal’s and Prim’s algorithm. A minimum spanning tree (MST) is a subset of the edges of a connected, edge-weighted undirected graph that connects all the vertices together, without any cycles and with the minimum possible total edge weight. There are two main algorithms for finding a minimum spanning tree: Prim's algorithm and Kruskal's algorithm. Prim's algorithm works by starting at an arbitrary vertex and then iteratively adding the edge with the lowest weight that connects the current tree to an unvisited vertex. This process continues until all... Show more Quiz on minimum spanning tree, Kruskal’s and Prim’s algorithm.
