What is the difference between Dijkstra's algorithm and breadth-first search (BFS)?
- Dijkstra's is for finding connected components, BFS is for finding shortest paths
- Dijkstra's is for weighted graphs, BFS is for unweighted graphs
- Dijkstra's is only for directed graphs, BFS is for undirected graphs
- Dijkstra's uses a stack, BFS uses a queue
The main difference lies in their applications - Dijkstra's algorithm is designed for finding the shortest path in weighted graphs, while BFS is used for exploring and finding the shortest paths in unweighted graphs.
