ProblemsNetwork Delay Time

Network Delay Time

Medium
GraphsDijkstra

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

 

Constraints:

  • 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.)
