Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest path from a given source node to every other node.: 196–206 It can also be used to find the shortest path to a specific destination node, by terminating the algorithm once the shortest path to the destination node is known. For example, if the nodes of the graph represent cities, and the costs of edges ...
