Kruskal's algorithm

Kruskal's algorithm is a method used to find the minimum spanning tree of a graph, which connects all its points (or nodes) with the smallest total edge weight, without forming any loops. The process involves sorting all the edges by weight and adding them one by one to the tree, starting from the smallest, as long as adding an edge doesn’t create a cycle. This continues until all nodes are connected. Kruskal’s algorithm is efficient and helps in designing networks, such as telecommunications or transportation systems, where minimizing cost is essential.
