In Dijkstra's algorithm, how does it select the next node to visit?
- It always selects the first node in the graph
- It chooses nodes randomly
- It picks the node with the largest tentative distance value
- It selects the node with the smallest tentative distance value
Dijkstra's algorithm selects the next node to visit based on the smallest tentative distance value. It maintains a priority queue or a min-heap to efficiently retrieve the node with the minimum distance.
