Write a program of minimum spanning tree of prims algorithm.

Code for Prims algorithm for minimum spanning tree in C++ Programming

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#define ROW 7
#define COL 7
#define infi 5000  //infi for infinityclass prims
{
   int graph[ROW][COL],nodes;
   public:
   prims();
   void createGraph();
   void primsAlgo();
};

prims :: prims(){

       for(int j=0;j<COL;j++)
     graph[i][j]=0;
}

void prims :: createGraph(){

hi! As the Max says its complexity is more than it should have been. I worked at same problem and made a c++ code which runs faster. Have a look..

Enjoy.

Hello!
Your implementation of Prim's algorithm is not correct. Your code runs in O(V^3) time. Prim's algorithm could be implemented in O(E+V*log V) or O(E*log V), depending on the implementation.
What you have implemented is more like a general paradigm of constructing MST, see section 23.1 in Cormen.
