Prim’s Minimum Spanning Tree Algorithm in C++

This C++ program depicts the Prim’s Algorithm which finds the minimal spanning tree(tree consisting of the minimum weights of edges connecting any two vertices) in a graph.

Here is the source code of the C++ program to display the destination node, start node and the weight of node connecting the two using Prim’s Algorithm such that the resultant values of weights of edges are the smallest possible. This C++ program is successfully compiled and run on DevCpp, a C++ compiler. The program output is given below.
