Unvisited min = A(200). Current = A. Neighbors: S(200+200 no better), B(200+150=350 vs current 350 tie), C(200+400=600), D(200+310=510). Update: C=600, D=510. Visited S,A.

Unvisited min = C(530). Current = C. Neighbors: A(no), B(no), D(no), E(530+250=780 vs 630 no). Visited S,A,B,D,C.

I used Google Maps for weights and could extend to Excel/Python.

Current = S (distance 0). Neighbors: A(200), B(350). Update: A=200, B=350. Visited = S. graph theory math ia

Unvisited min = B(350). Current = B. Neighbors: S(no), A(350+150=500 vs 200 no), C(350+180=530 vs 600 → update C=530), D(350+220=570 vs 510 no), E(350+280=630). Visited S,A,B.

1. Introduction Aim: To determine the most efficient (shortest) route for a delivery driver in a local suburban network using graph theory, and to compare the effectiveness of Dijkstra’s algorithm against simple visual inspection.

(sort edges by weight, add if no cycle): Unvisited min = A(200)

Unvisited min = D(510). Current = D. Neighbors: A(no), B(no), C(510+120=630 vs 530 no), F(510+300=810), T(510+500=1010). Update T tentative = 1010. Visited S,A,B,D.

Unvisited min = E(630). Current = E. Neighbors: B(no), C(no), F(630+100=730 vs 810 → update F=730). Visited add E.

Destination T reached (820). Stop.

I defined terms clearly, used consistent notation (( G=(V,E) )), and showed step-by-step tables.

Sorted edges: F–T(90), C–D(120), A–B(150), B–C(180), S–A(200), B–D(220), C–E(250), B–E(280), D–F(300), A–D(310), S–B(350), A–C(400), D–T(500).
