This is a Python program to implement Dijkstra’s Shortest Path algorithm on a graph.
The problem is to find the shortest distance to all vertices from a source vertex in a weighted graph.
1. Create classes for Graph and Vertex.
2. Create a function dijkstra that takes a Graph object and a source vertex as arguments.
3. The function begins by creating a set unvisited and adding all the vertices in the graph to it.
4. A dictionary distance is created with keys as the vertices in the graph and their value all set to infinity.
5. distance[source] is set to 0.
6. The algorithm proceeds by finding the vertex that has the minimum distance in the set unvisited.
7. It then removes this vertex from the set unvisited.
8. Then all the neighbours of this vertex that have not been visited yet have their distances updated.
9. The above steps repeat until the set unvisited becomes empty.
10. The dictionary distance is returned.
11. This algorithm works for both undirected and directed graphs.
Here is the source code of a Python program to implement Dijkstra’s Shortest Path algorithm on a graph. The program output is shown below.

1. An instance of Graph is created.
2. A menu is presented to the user to perform various operations on the graph.
3. To find all shortest distances from a source vertex, dijkstra is called on the graph and the source vertex.
