The shortest path

The shortest path refers to the quickest or most efficient route between two points. Imagine navigating a city map: the shortest path minimizes travel distance or time, saving effort and resources. In mathematics and computer science, algorithms like Dijkstra’s find this optimal route by comparing possible paths and selecting the one with the least cost. It’s used in GPS navigation, network routing, and logistics to ensure efficient movement from start to finish, reducing delays and improving overall efficiency.
