Big O Notation
Big O notation is a tool we use to estimate how long a program or an algorithm will run. On this blog we've covered a lot of algorithms but we only touched on the big O notation. If you have a degree...

Detecting Directed Cycles In Edge Weighted Digraphs
Edge weighted digraphs can be used for a large number of things. In some cases we want to know if there's a directed cycle between the nodes (or vertices). For example, if we're working on a...

Dijkstra's Algorithm in Swift
Last week we've talked about edge weighted digraphs in swift. This week we'll talk about a famous algorithm that's using that data structure. Dijkstra's algorithm is a simple and well-known algorithm...
