I have missed these videos so much. Awesome explanation.
I'm so glad I found your channel! Thank you so much for your hard work!
This explanation is so good! Understanding this algorithm is already hard, and coding the solution up is difficult on another level. I tried reading the code on different websites and in different videos, and I had a hard time understanding it. However, you example, visualization and clean code made me understand everything in less than 20 minutes. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for making it super easy to understand. I am super lucky that I found your channel among the pile.
This helped me a lot. Many thanks to you, my friend
Thank you @WilliamFiset for such an amazing explanation, I wish you were teaching while I was still in college.
Hands down best channel for graph algorithms resource on youtube. Thanks mate

Thank you so much!!! learning algorithms from a book in the university is really hard and your videos are super helpful!!

Very Nice Bro. Keep on making videos on other topics. Your animations are really usefull.
This helped me a lot! Thanks!
You're so good that i recommend your channel to every SWE i meet.
It's very helpful. Thanks
Thanks for the explanation!
Clean and excellent explanation Elegant & Beautiful
thank you so much !! Really helpful !
Excellent Explanation. It was crystal clear. I got everything in one go.
Simple and helpful ✌🏻
Thanks William! Understood the algo :)
great job!!
brilliant explanation = thank you so much
3:27 to be more precise, the two versions (lazy and eager) have the same complexity of O(E*log V) because log(E) = O(log(V)). This is because E < V^2, so log(E) < log(V^2) = 2*log(V) = O(log V). In big-O notation, it never really makes sense to use log(E) instead of log(V) for graph algorithms.

What about when there are O(V^2) edges? For example a dense or complete graph.

Thank you, Sir.
thank for your video ,it help me learn Tree algorithm !!!
Thanks williams
How will the complexity be E log E ? Is it for Adj list representation because for a matrix representation I am selecting a vertex then looping through all other vertices to add them in the queue, if an edge exists at all so I am doing the work V times right? So the complexity will still be O(V^2 )
Well done!
Hey awsome video but I don't understand what happens at 8:41 you say its stale because (2,1,3) but how did you get that should'n it have been (1,2,3) because you were starting from node 1?
very helpful!
pls explain the time and space complexity as well
Thank you lots!!
Beautiful! :)
After watching people on the internet unnecessarily complicating this beautiful algorithm. I'm here!
U'r the best man u'r the best
Why choose vertex which is connected by minimum adge? it works even if we traverse and choose vertex from an ordinary queue(not priority queue) Becoz the goal is to connect vertex with minimum edge only and we can archive this even by choosing elements randomly
For someone in doubt like myself, wondering which node to start from to put into priorityqueue, you can start with nay node and will still get the same MINIMUM SPANNING TREE (which by definition contains all nodes joined via the minimum weighted edges)

yes, and all the trees weight cost the same
Is each minimum-heavy spanning tree of N also a minimum spanning tree of N vertices!
Yes, Prims is nice.
where in the code do we select the cheapest edge from the PQ?
@WilliamFiset-videos

That's the line 'edge = pq.dequeue' at 13:14 which removes the next best edge from the priority queue.

@@WilliamFiset-videos Hey. What would happen if i had a node with 2 Edges. The first one has a cost of 0 and the second a cost of 2. I follow the Edge with cost 0 and end up at a Node with another 2 Edges which all have higher edge costs than 2. If i dequeue i'd get the Edge from the first Element with cost 2 right? Would that change anything in the workflow?

@@ikaros9727 You need to get to ALL the nodes in the graph anyway, so the workflow doesn't change. You always choose the cheapest edge and follow it to get the minimum spanning tree.

the pq sorts based on the minimum edge cost,so it always dequeue the minimum edge
what does to poll mean? we just choose a node randomly?

Polling is the act of removing a node from the top of the priority queue. In the pseudocode in this video it's the equivalent of .dequeue()

One minor thing: it seems mstEdges[0] stays null.
