What is Prim's Algorithm?
Prim's algorithm is a greedy algorithm that finds a minimum spanning tree for a weighted undirected graph. A minimum spanning tree is a subset of the edges of a connected, edge-weighted undirected graph that connects all the vertices together, without any cycles and with the minimum possible total edge weight. A minimum spanning tree for a weighted undirected graph is also called a minimum weight spanning tree or minimum cost spanning tree.

Prim's Algorithm: common questions
Can I learn Prim's Algorithm in Hindi?
This lesson is written in English. Once you sign in, open it in the interactive course and ask the AI tutor to explain Prim's Algorithm in Hindi or Hinglish. The tutor answers from this lesson’s own text, so it stays on the syllabus, and it runs on your own Google, OpenAI or Anthropic key.
Is this Prim's Algorithm tutorial for beginners?
It is lesson 76 of 188 in the free Computer Science roadmap, in stage 5, Endianess. If you are new to Computer Science, start from stage 1 and come back here in order; if you already know the earlier stages, this lesson stands on its own.
