Homework 5 Graph Algorithms Solved

In order to do this assignment you need to know how to construct a graph using Adjancency lists.
You also need to know how Dijkstra’s algorithm for finding shortest paths works.
Q1: Adjacency
You will read a directed graph from a text file. Below is an example, found in Graph1.txt:
5
1 2 0.2 4 10.1 5 0.5
2 1 1.5
3 2 100.0 4 50.2
4
5 2 10.5 3 13.9
The first line is the number of vertices. Each vertex is represented by an integer from 1 to N. Each line
is of the form:
…
For each vertex, you have a list of the adjacent vertices with positive edge weights. For instance, in
the above example, vertex 1 is connected to vertex 2 (edge weight 0.2), to vertex 4 (edge weight
10.1) and to vertex 5 (edge weight 0.5). Vertex 2 is connected to vertex 1 (edge weight 1.5), vertex 4
has no outgoing edges, etc.
Represent the graph using an adjacency list.
Create your graph class inside graph.h
In order to test your implementation, you will read a second text file (let us call it
AdjacencyQueries1.txt) that will contain a set of pair of vertices. Your program (name it
CreateGraphAndTest.cc) will have to first create the graph by reading it from text file Graph1.txt. It
will then open the file AdjacencyQueries1.txt and for each pair of vertices in it, your program will
print whether the vertices are adjacent or not, and if they are, your program will print the weight of
the edge that connects them.
For example, if the file AdjancencyQueries1.txt contains:
4 1
3 4
1 5
5 1
1 3
Then the output should be:
4 1: not_connected
3 4: connected 50.2
1 5: connected 0.5
5 1: not_connected
1 3: not_connected
where the numbers to the right of “connected” are the weight of this edge.
Note: This example is consistent with Graph1.txt. It is very important that you follow this format
exactly. Make sure you have the “_” underscore in “not_connected”. Make sure there is nothing
extra printed.
So, your program can be called for example as:
./CreateGraphAndTest
Exact deliverables are described at the bottom of the file.
Q2: Dijkstra’s Algorithm Implementation
Using your graph implementation in Q1, implement Dijkstra’s Algorithm, using a priority queue (i.e.
heap). Write a program that runs as follows:
./FindPaths
This program should use Dijkstra’s Algorithm to find the shortest paths from a given starting vertex
to all vertices in the graph file.
The priority queue data structure is provided for you under the file, binary_heap.h, and included
inside graph.h. Do not modify binary_heap.h, we will use the original automatically.
You should then print out the paths to every destination. For example, if you run the program having
as input Graph2.txt (provided) starting from vertex 1, i.e.
./FindPaths Graph2.txt 1
Then the output should be:
1: 1 cost: 0.0
2: 1 2 cost: 2.0
3: 1 4 3 cost: 3.0
4: 1 cost: 1.0
5: 1 4 5 cost: 3.0
6: 1 4 7 6 cost: 6.0
7: 1 4 7 cost: 5.0
The first number is the target vertex. (Aka: the last line beginning with 7: is the shortest path from
the input starting vertex 1, to the target vertex 7.) Your output should always be ordered this way,
starting from target vertex 1, to the maximum target vertex for that graph.
Following the target vertex, display the path taken, inclusive of the starting and ending vertices.
Finally, display “cost:” followed by the cost of that path.
Note: This an example using the inputs provided in Graph2.txt. It is very important that you follow the
output format exactly. Do not print any extra lines or characters.
