You are given a network of n
nodes, labeled from 1
to n
. You are also given times
, a list of travel times as directed edges times[i] = (ui, vi, wi)
, where ui
is the source node, vi
is the target node, and wi
is the time it takes for a signal to travel from source to target.
We will send a signal from a given node k
. Return the minimum time it takes for all the n
nodes to receive the signal. If it is impossible for all the n
nodes to receive the signal, return -1
.
Example 1:
Input: times = [[2,1,1],[2,3,1],[3,4,1]], n = 4, k = 2 Output: 2
Example 2:
Input: times = [[1,2,1]], n = 2, k = 1 Output: 1
Example 3:
Input: times = [[1,2,1]], n = 2, k = 2 Output: -1
1 <= k <= n <= 100
1 <= times.length <= 6000
times[i].length == 3
1 <= ui, vi <= n
ui != vi
0 <= wi <= 100
- All the pairs
(ui, vi)
are unique. (i.e., no multiple edges.)

Application of Dijkstra's algorithm
The time complexity is O(E + V log V), where E is the number of edges (times.length) and V is the number of nodes (n). This is because we need to visit each edge once and each node is added and extracted from the heap at most once.
The space complexity is O(V + E) for the graph and the dist list.
