#C8272. Shortest Path in an Undirected Graph
Shortest Path in an Undirected Graph
Shortest Path in an Undirected Graph
You are given an undirected graph with n nodes and m edges. The nodes are numbered from 1 to n. Your task is to compute the length of the shortest path from node 1 to node n.
If there is no path between node 1 and node n, output -1
. The graph is defined by its edges, and each edge connects two nodes.
The problem can be formulated using the following LaTeX expression:
Find the minimum d such that there exists a sequence of nodes \(v_1, v_2, \dots, v_{d+1}\) satisfying \(v_1=1\), \(v_{d+1}=n\) and for each \(1 \leq i \leq d\), there is an edge between \(v_i\) and \(v_{i+1}\). If no such sequence exists, output \(-1\).
inputFormat
The input is given via standard input (stdin) in the following format:
n m u1 v1 u2 v2 ... num vm
where:
n
is the number of nodes.m
is the number of edges.- Each of the next
m
lines contains two integersu
andv
(1-indexed) representing an undirected edge between nodesu
andv
.
outputFormat
Output a single integer to standard output (stdout): the length of the shortest path from node 1 to node n. If there is no such path, output -1
.
