Shortest path

Question

Hello, can someone please help me? I need to solve a problem that requires finding the shortest route between two airports with the minimum number of layovers. Each airplane can only cover a certain distance. Can someone advise me on a solution? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Sure, I can help you with that! To find the shortest route between two airports with the minimum number of layovers, you can use the Breadth-First Search (BFS) algorithm. Here's a high-level outline of the solution:

1. Represent the airports and their connections as a graph, where each airport is a node, and flights between airports are edges with weights representing the distance.
2. Use BFS to traverse the graph starting from the source airport, exploring all possible routes with a limited number of layovers (stops).
3. Keep track of the number of layovers for each visited airport during the BFS traversal.
4. Stop the BFS search when you reach the destination airport, and return the shortest route with the minimum number of layovers.

If you provide more specific details about the data format and any constraints, I can help you with a code implementation in Python or any other programming language of your choice.

You already ask this question, the answers already given from Lisa mam and Jan Markus bro, please avoid repeated question.

Answer 4

Personally I think your question is not complete. For example, you did not defined how the world is

A maze? 2D grid
A Cartesian Plane with just XY

Because plane can fly, so I'll choose the Cartesian Plane with just XY.

The distance between two points can be derived using the Pythagoras theorem. That's just the displacement from the start to the ending point.

If there are predefined route for the plane, then the solution can be complex, you should let me know if there's something like that
