About this course

A widely used data structure is Graphs when it comes to network design. Better representation and analysis of Graphs is a critical field of Computer science, and there comes the use of the Spanning tree. Understanding spanning trees and their implementation help us understand and code complex computer networks and program management problems. this course will take you through all these concepts of finding spanning trees from a given graph using Prim’s algorithm along with the implementation in Java Programming

“Design and Analysis of Algorithms (DAA)”
Design and Analysis of Algorithms (DAA) focuses on designing algorithms for solving computational problems efficiently and analyzing their time and space complexity. It involves techniques such as divide and conquer, dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, and graph algorithms. The goal is to create algorithms that are both correct and optimal. DAA also examines the trade-offs between time, space, and problem constraints.
