+/*PRIM'S ALGORITHM FOR MINIMUM SPANNING TREE*/
+
+/*if we have a graph whose nodes are connected to each other acyclic or cyclic and the paths have some
+  weight then we can find out the minimum weighted path which connects all node.
+*/
+
+/* OBSERVATIONS-
+  1)if there are n nodes then there will be n-1 paths which connects all nodes.
+  2)if we have 2 non connected graph then we can never find minimum spanning path using this algo.
+*/
+
+/*ALGORITHM
+    1)create three arrays parent,weight,visited.
+    2)initialise weight vector with max value and visited vector with false.
+    3)we can start with any node(usually node 0) then select node whose path with this node is least
+      and update the parent for this node.
+    4)as we select paths we will also update weights in weight array with minimum of weights 
+      and value stored in weights array.
+    5)once we have visited the node we update value in visited array as true.
+    6)we then select minimum value in array weights and repeat step 4-6 till we get parent of
+      each node filled.
