Explanation of Solution

Program:

In general, a computer is able to perform many types of tasks because they can be programmed. It implies that computers not only performs a single job but also perform many jobs.

  • In a computer, a task is implemented by a set of instructions; it is referred as a “program”.
  • Programs are generally referred as “software”; it is needed for computer because, every operation of computer is controlled with the help of software.
    • In computer, software is created by the individual programmers or the software developers.
  • The computer programs are designed and tested by the programmers.

The programs can be generated by using some type of programming languages such as C, C++, java, Python, and so on. The language statements are referred as “source program”. After the compilation of source program is referred as “object program”.

Dijkstra's Algorithm (part 1).  Consider the network shown below, and Dijkstra’s link-state algorithm. Here, we are interested in computing the least cost path from node E (note: the start node here is E) to all other nodes using Dijkstra's algorithm. Using the algorithm statement used in the textbook and its visual representation, complete the "Step 0" row in the table below showing the link state algorithm’s execution by matching the table entries (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) with their values.  Write down your final [correct] answer, as you‘ll need it for the next question.
