Prim's algorithm
Prim's algorithm step-by-step
- Choose a random point on the graph (1st visited node)
- Choose the connection with the smallest value connected with this node
- Add this node to the set of visited nodes
- Choose the connection with the smallest value connected with your set of visited nodes and add it to your tree
- Add the new visited node to your set of visited nodes
- Continue until you visited all nodes
- You have now found the minimal spanning tree
