Which term refers to an algorithm that computes shortest paths from a single source vertex in a graph, even with negative edge weights?
Difficulty: Hard
About this MCQ
This Hard Algorithms MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Which term refers to an algorithm that computes shortest paths from a single source vertex in a graph, even with negative edge weights?”
The accepted answer is A. Bellman-Ford algorithm. Bellman-Ford algorithm is the person body or term that satisfies Which term refers to an algorithm that computes shortest paths from a single source vertex in a graph even with negative edge weights option A Option B Space complexity does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Bellman-Ford algorithm Option C Amortized analysis does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Bellman-Ford algorithm Remaining alternatives Selection sort fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Bellman-Ford algorithm is identified Algorithms questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations Algorithms recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC PPSC NTS.
