In this section, I'll teach you how to find the minimum spanning tree (MST) of a graph. You will learn two classic algorithms: Kruskal's and Prim's. Both solve the same problem but use different strategies. By the end, you will know when to use each algorithm and how to apply them to real problems. You will solve three problems that show MST in action.
First, let me show you what a spanning tree is and why it matters for connecting networks efficiently.
