**Dijkstra's Algorithm to Find the Shortest Path**

**Problem Statement:**
Use Dijkstra's algorithm to determine the shortest path length between vertices \( a \) and \( z \). Show each step of the calculations. 

**Diagram Description:**
The diagram is a graph of vertices and weighted edges. The vertices, labeled \( a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, \) and \( z \), are connected as follows:

- \( a \) to \( b \) with a weight of 4
- \( a \) to \( c \) with a weight of 3
- \( b \) to \( d \) with a weight of 5
- \( b \) to \( e \) with a weight of 2
- \( c \) to \( d \) with a weight of 3
- \( c \) to \( g \) with a weight of 6
- \( d \) to \( e \) with a weight of 1
- \( d \) to \( f \) with a weight of 9
- \( d \) to \( g \) with a weight of 5
- \( e \) to \( f \) with a weight of 3
- \( f \) to \( z \) with a weight of 4
- \( g \) to \( i \) with a weight of 8
- \( h \) to \( i \) with a weight of 3
- \( i \) to \( z \) with a weight of 5

**Note:** Write the vertex set \( S \) and the current shortest path at each step.

**Solution Steps:**

1. **Initialization:**
   - Start at vertex \( a \). 
   - Set \(\text{distance}(a) = 0\) and all other vertices to infinity. 
   - Current vertex set \( S = \{a\} \).

2. **Explore neighbors of \( a \):**
   - Update distances: \(\text{distance}(b) = 4\), \(\text{distance}(c) = 3\).
   - Choose the vertex with the smallest distance not in \( S \), which is \( c \).

3. **Add \( c \) to \( S \) and explore neighbors:**
   - Current
