Floyd-Warshall Algorithm
• Floyd-Warshall Algorithm is an algorithm for finding the shortest path
between all the pairs of vertices in a weighted graph.
• This algorithm works for both the directed and undirected weighted
graphs.
• But, it does not work for the graphs with negative cycles (where the
sum of the edges in a cycle is negative).
• Floyd-Warhshall algorithm is also called as Floyd's algorithm, Roy-
Floyd algorithm, Roy-Warshall algorithm, or WFI algorithm.
• This algorithm follows the dynamic programming approach to find the
shortest paths.

Floyd Warshall Algorithm Complexity
Time Complexity
There are three loops. Each loop has constant complexities. So, the time
complexity of the Floyd-Warshall algorithm is O(n^3).
Space Complexity
The space complexity of the Floyd-Warshall algorithm is O(n^3)=>O(n^2).
