From 0 to 1 Data Structures & Algorithms in Java - The Bellman Ford Algorithm Visualized

The video tutorial explains the Bellman Ford algorithm, focusing on its application to graphs with negative weighted edges. It details the initialization of the distance table and the process of iterating through vertices and edges to update distances. The tutorial demonstrates the first and second iterations, showing how distances are updated and why V-1 iterations are necessary for accurate results. The explanation includes the importance of edge exploration and the logic behind the number of iterations required for the algorithm to work on any graph.

What is the distance of vertex A at the start of the algorithm?

What is the final outcome of the distance table after completing the necessary iterations?
