I need a simple C++ function that reads in a list nodes from a file of the form:
nodeTo nodeFrom weight
The function should allow the user to enter a start and end node and then generate the shortest path between the two nodes based on the weights of each segment traversed on the graph. The maximum number of nodes is 30. The nodes traversed to get from the start node to the end node should be stored in an array.
Input:
A list of nodes from a file. For example:
1 2 1
2 3 1
3 7 3
...
Output:
None. Result stored in an array
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.
b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).
## Platform
The function only needs to be written in C++. I will integrate it into existing code. It should not use stl or other libraries.
