Solution Summary

Prim algorithms are examined. A list of minInfo elements in the priority queue and indicates which verticies and edges are in the current spanning tree.

Solution Preview

We start from the vertex A and proceed with the Prim's algorithm.
At the beginning, the priority queue is minInfo = [A], totalWeight = 0.
Step 1: Choose the edge (A, B) because it has the minimum length with minInfo. Then minInfo = [A, B] and totalWeight = 1
Step 2: Choose the edge (B, C) because it has the minimum length with minInfo. Then ...
