Prim's algorithm

Prim's algorithm is a method for connecting all points in a network with the least total cost, such as roads connecting cities or wires linking computers. Starting from any point, it repeatedly adds the smallest connection that links a new point to the already connected network. This process continues until all points are connected, ensuring the overall wiring or pathways are as efficient and cost-effective as possible. It’s a way to build minimal connections, avoiding unnecessary or expensive links while ensuring everything remains connected.
