Under what circumstances would you prefer to use Prim's algorithm over Kruskal's, and vice versa?

  • Both algorithms are equivalent and can be used interchangeably.
  • Kruskal's is preferred for dense graphs, while Prim's is suitable for sparse graphs.
  • Prim's is always faster than Kruskal's regardless of the graph characteristics.
  • Prim's is preferred for dense graphs, while Kruskal's is suitable for sparse graphs.
Prim's algorithm is generally preferred for dense graphs, where the number of edges is close to the maximum possible edges. On the other hand, Kruskal's algorithm tends to perform better on sparse graphs, where the number of edges is much less than the maximum possible. The choice depends on the specific characteristics of the graph.
