Floyd-Warshall Algorithm


The Floyd-Warshall algorithm is a graph-analysis algorithm that calculates shortest paths between all pairs of nodes in a graph. It is a dynamic programming algorithm with O(|V|3) time complexity and O(|V|2) space complexity. For path reconstruction, see here; for a more efficient algorithm for sparse graphs, see Johnson's algorithm.
