graphs.prim.connect(graph, a, b, edge)

graphs.prim.prim(graph: list, root: Vertex) → list

Prim’s Algorithm.

Runtime:

O(mn) with m edges and n vertices

Return:

List with the edges of a Minimum Spanning Tree

Usage:

prim(graph, graph[0])

graphs.prim.prim_heap(graph: list, root: Vertex) → collections.abc.Iterator[tuple]

Prim’s Algorithm with min heap.

Runtime:

O((m + n)log n) with m edges and n vertices

Yield:

Edges of a Minimum Spanning Tree

Usage:

prim(graph, graph[0])

graphs.prim.test_vector() → None
