π Understanding the Algorithms
SmartNavigation visualizes several key algorithms used for pathfinding:
- Dijkstraβs Algorithm: Finds the shortest path in a weighted graph.
- Bellman-Ford Algorithm: Calculates shortest paths from a single source vertex even in graphs with negative weights.
- Depth First Search: Explores as far as possible along a branch before backtracking.
- Breadth First Search: Explores all neighbor nodes at the present depth prior to moving on to nodes at the next depth level.
SmartNavigation is built in Python, utilizing libraries such as Matplotlib and Numpy. This makes it efficient for simulations while keeping the process simple and straightforward.
