Dijkstra's Algorithm is a greedy algorithm used to find the shortest path from a single source node to all other nodes in a weighted graph with non-negative weights. We can adapt it to efficiently find the shortest path for this problem.
Time Complexity: O(V^2), where V is the number of vertices since we're using an adjacency matrix and no priority queue to obtain the minimum distance vertex.
Space Complexity: O(V^2) due to the adjacency matrix storage requirements.

59const graph = new Graph(4, edges);
60console.log(graph.shortestPath(3, 2)); // Output: 6

64JavaScript utilizes a simple priority queue implementation to keep track of and process nodes by minimized distances while computing shortest paths.
The Floyd-Warshall Algorithm is a dynamic programming algorithm used to find shortest paths between all pairs of vertices in a weighted graph. This approach is more suited when there are frequent shortest path queries between multiple different node pairs.
Time Complexity: O(n^3), where n is the number of vertices, arising from the three nested loops.
Space Complexity: O(n^2) due to the distance matrix storage covering all node pairs.
