#K93822. Taco: Shortest Path Queries
Taco: Shortest Path Queries
Taco: Shortest Path Queries
You are given an undirected weighted graph with n nodes and m edges. Each edge connects two nodes and has an associated positive weight.
Your task is to answer q queries. In each query, given two nodes s and t, you should compute the minimum distance between them. If there is no path from s to t, output -1.
The shortest path distance between nodes s and t is defined as:
$$d(s,t)=\min\left\{\sum_{(u,v)\in P}w(u,v)\right\}$$
where \(P\) is any path connecting s and t and \(w(u,v)\) denotes the weight of the edge between nodes \(u\) and \(v\>.
You are required to use Dijkstra's algorithm (or any equivalent method) to solve the problem efficiently.
inputFormat
The first line contains three space-separated integers: n (the number of nodes), m (the number of edges), and q (the number of queries).
The next m lines each contain three integers u, v, and w, representing an undirected edge between nodes u and v with weight w.
The following q lines each contain two integers s and t, representing a query asking for the shortest path from node s to node t.
outputFormat
For each query, output a single integer on a new line representing the shortest path distance from s to t. If no path exists, output -1.
