prims algorithm implementation in c++ code example
Example: prims c++
using namespace std;
const int MAX = 1e4 + 5;
typedef pair<long long, int> PII;
bool marked[MAX];
vector <PII> adj[MAX];
long long prim(int x)
{
priority_queue<PII, vector<PII>, greater<PII> > Q;
int y;
long long minimumCost = 0;
PII p;
Q.push(make_pair(0, x));
while(!Q.empty())
{
// Select the edge with minimum weight
p = Q.top();
Q.pop();
x = p.second;
// Checking for cycle
if(marked[x] == true)
continue;
minimumCost += p.first;
marked[x] = true;
for(int i = 0;i < adj[x].size();++i)
{
y = adj[x][i].second;
if(marked[y] == false)
Q.push(adj[x][i]);
}
}
return minimumCost;
}
int main()
{

long long weight, minimumCost;
cin >> nodes >> edges;
for(int i = 0;i < edges;++i)
{

adj[y].push_back(make_pair(weight, x));
}
// Selecting 1 as the starting node
minimumCost = prim(1);
cout << minimumCost << endl;
return 0;
