AI overview
Dijkstra's algorithm is a method for finding the shortest path between points in a network or graph by systematically exploring nearby connections and gradually expanding outward. It matters because it's widely used in real-world applications like GPS navigation, network routing, and mapping services where finding efficient routes quickly is important.
