Dijkstra's Algorithm in C

This code implements Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest path from a source vertex to all other vertices in a graph represented as an adjacency matrix. The program reads graph data from an input.txt file and writes the results to an output.txt file.

Code Implementation

#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

#define MAX_VERTICES 100

// Function to find the vertex with minimum distance
int minDistance(int dist[], bool visited[], int vertices) {
    int min = INT_MAX, min_index;

    for (int v = 0; v < vertices; v++)
        if (!visited[v] && dist[v] <= min) {
            min = dist[v];
            min_index = v;
        }

    return min_index;
}
