Sorry need some help again.

Here's what i understand so far (idk right or wrong):

- works in an adjacency matrix

- finds all shortest paths between all pairs of vertices

- works for graphs with negative edges as well

Algorithm:

shorestpath(i,j,k) find the shortest paths between i to j using nodes 1 through k.

at the heart of the algorithm lies this

shortestPath(i,j,k) = min{shortestPath(i,j,k − 1),shortestPath(i,k,k − 1) + shortestPath(k,j,k − 1)}

which translates to

the shortest path between i and j through nodes 1 to k =
minimum of shortestPath(i,j,k − 1) and shortestPath(i,k,k − 1) + shortestPath(k,j,k − 1)
if there exist some node k that allows traveling from i to j fast by using k instead of 1 to k-1?

what is the base case of this recursion? help thanks a lot! illustration will be great. pls correct anything if i m wrong

btw, does the adjacency matrix gets updated at the end of the operation?
it seems that a new matrix is being created and updated as the algorithm is running, is it necessary?

thanks a ton!

Iff shortestPath(i, j, 0) then you return the cost of i -> j.

I've got to go to class, I'll provide an example in a few hours if you need one.

is 0 one of the nodes in 1 to k-1?

example will be great thx a lot!

For the weighted matrix of:
Code:
A--1--B
|\    |
| \   |
5  3  1
|   \ |
|    \|
C--1--D


Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

// This is for printing. Nothing to do with the formula.
template <unsigned int N>
string FormatMatrix(unsigned int (& matrix)[N][N]) {
   stringstream ss;
   for(unsigned int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
      ss << "| ";
      for(unsigned int j = 0; j < N; ++j) {
         ss << setw(2) << matrix[i][j] << " ";
      }
      ss << "|" << endl;
   }
   return ss.str();
}

// N for our matrix is 4
template <unsigned int N>
void FloydWarshall(unsigned int (& matrix)[N][N]) {
   for(unsigned int k = 0; k < N; ++k) {
      for(unsigned int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
         for(unsigned int j = 0; j < N; ++j) {
            if(matrix[i][k] * matrix[k][j] != 0 && i != j) {
               const unsigned int dist = matrix[i][k] + matrix[k][j];
               if(dist < matrix[i][j] || !matrix[i][j]) {
                  matrix[i][j] = dist;
               }
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

// Our matrix
unsigned int weightedAdjacencyMatrix[4][4] = {
   {  0,  1,  5,  3 },
   {  1,  0,  0,  1 },
   {  5,  0,  0,  1 },
   {  3,  1,  1,  0 }
};

int main()
{
   cout << "Before: " << endl << FormatMatrix(weightedAdjacencyMatrix) << endl;
   FloydWarshall(weightedAdjacencyMatrix);
   cout << "After: " << endl << FormatMatrix(weightedAdjacencyMatrix) << endl;

   for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
      cout << "A -> " << (char)('A'+i) << ": " << weightedAdjacencyMatrix[0][i] << endl;
   }
   return 0;
}


Output is:
Code:
Before:
|  0  1  5  3 |
|  1  0  0  1 |
|  5  0  0  1 |
|  3  1  1  0 |

After:
|  0  1  3  2 |
|  1  0  2  1 |
|  3  2  0  1 |
|  2  1  1  0 |

A -> A: 0
A -> B: 1
A -> C: 3
A -> D: 2

that looks perfect, really appreciate the help!

btw does it matter if i switch the order of the loops? i tried to invert the order (for j..i..k) and the dist from A -> C becomes 4 instead of 3 while others stay the same. is it illegal to switch?

thx for the great help again!

The order matters as it is a dynamic function, i.e. the problem can be broken up into simpler subproblems and the order of these subproblems affect the behavior of the function.
