Using the Breadth-First Search Algorithm, determine the minimum number of edges that it would require to reach

vertex 'H' starting from vertex 'A'>

The algorithm is given below.

#include <iostream>

#include <vector>

#include <utility>

#include <algorithm>

using namespace std;

const int MAX = 1e4 + 5;

int id[MAX], nodes, edges;

pair <long long, pair<int, int> > p[MAX];

void initialize()

{

   for(int i = 0;i < MAX;++i)

       id[i] = i;

}

int root(int x)

{

   while(id[x] != x)

   {

       id[x] = id[id[x]];

       x = id[x];

   }

   return x;

}

void union1(int x, int y)

{

   int p = root(x);

   int q = root(y);

   id[p] = id[q];

}

long long kruskal(pair<long long, pair<int, int> > p[])

{

   int x, y;

   long long cost, minimumCost = 0;

   for(int i = 0;i < edges;++i)

   {

       // Selecting edges one by one in increasing order from the beginning

       x = p[i].second.first;

       y = p[i].second.second;

       cost = p[i].first;

       // Check if the selected edge is creating a cycle or not

       if(root(x) != root(y))

       {

           minimumCost += cost;

           union1(x, y);

       }    

   }

   return minimumCost;

}

int main()

{

   int x, y;

   long long weight, cost, minimumCost;

   initialize();

   cin >> nodes >> edges;

   for(int i = 0;i < edges;++i)

   {

       cin >> x >> y >> weight;

       p[i] = make_pair(weight, make_pair(x, y));

   }

   // Sort the edges in the ascending order

   sort(p, p + edges);

   minimumCost = kruskal(p);

   cout << minimumCost << endl;

   return 0;

}
