Project 3: Map-based Routing Application

 

Welcome to Project 3, where we will apply the principles of graph theory and algorithms to develop a map-based routing application. This project will integrate the concepts we've explored, particularly Dijkstra's algorithm, to calculate the shortest path between two points on a map. This kind of application has practical real-world uses, akin to the functionality seen in GPS navigation systems.

In this project, we will create a simplified version of a routing application. We'll construct a graph representing a map, where intersections and pathways are nodes and edges, respectively. The edges will have weights corresponding to distances or travel times. Our task will be to find the shortest path ...
