You are designing a navigation system for a delivery service, where the delivery vans need to find the shortest path between various destinations. Would you choose Breadth-First Search (BFS) or Dijkstra's Algorithm for this scenario, and why?
- Both are equally suitable
- Breadth-First Search (BFS)
- Dijkstra's Algorithm
- Neither is suitable
Dijkstra's Algorithm would be more suitable for the scenario because it not only finds the shortest path but also considers the weights or distances between destinations. In a delivery service, the distances between locations (nodes) are likely to vary, making Dijkstra's Algorithm more appropriate than BFS, which does not consider edge weights.
