C++ Program to Implement Traveling Salesman Problem using Nearest Neighbour Algorithm

This C++ program implements the Travelling Salesman Problem which computes the minimum cost required to visit all the nodes by traversing across the edges only once.

Here is the source code of the C++ program to display the minimum cost by taking an undirected graph as input. This C++ program is successfully compiled and run on DevCpp, a C++ compiler. The program output is given below.
