Conclusion

Solution Review: Find the Shortest Path Between Two Vertices

Let’s solve the Find the Shortest Path between Two Vertices problem.

We'll cover the following

Statement
Solution
- Complexity analysis

Statement

Given a directed graph of n nodes and two vertices, src and dest, return the length of the shortest path between src and dest. The shortest path will contain the minimum number of edges.

If no path exists between src and dest, return -1.
