What is the shortest way to travel from Rotterdam to Groningen, in general: from given city to given city. It is the algorithm for the shortest path, which I designed in about twenty minutes. One morning I was shopping in Amsterdam with my young fiancée, and tired, we sat down on the café terrace to drink a cup of coffee and I was just thinking about whether I could do this, and I then designed the algorithm for the shortest path. As I said, it was a twenty-minute invention. In fact, it was published in '59, three years later. The publication is still readable, it is, in fact, quite nice. One of the reasons that it is so nice was that I designed it without pencil and paper. I learned later that one of the advantages of designing without pencil and paper is that you are almost forced to avoid all avoidable complexities. Eventually, that algorithm became to my great amazement, one of the cornerstones of my fame. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra%27s_algorithm#History
Isn't Dijsktra that one guy from the Witcher?
Key part is how it was designed by hand. You should have the ability to put your thoughts on paper with easy to understand diagrams
Prolly his fiance’ told him there was no one at home & Djikstra dude wanted to waste no time & got on top of this. 😎
They’re adults, aren’t they? Don’t they live on their own with their own homes?
He was greedy after all
