## Outline
|
||||
|
||||
We're working on exercise 2 from [2026.07.31](../2026.07.31/overview.md).
|
||||
The exercise and starter file is included again below for convenience.
|
||||
|
||||
In a *weighted* road network, return all possible paths that a car can take to
|
||||
reach point A to point B. For each path, also sum up the total weight that
|
||||
taking that path requires.
|
||||
|
||||
Your algorithm should take the starting and ending points, and return a list
|
||||
of tuples. Each tuple should contain the traversal from point A to point B,
|
||||
followed by the total weight.
|
||||
|
||||
In this fictitious graph, calling `possible_paths("Santa Ana", "San Francisco")`
|
||||
should yield the return below.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
graph = {
|
||||
'Santa Ana': {
|
||||
'Los Angeles': 5,
|
||||
'Palm Springs': 50
|
||||
},
|
||||
'Los Angeles': {
|
||||
'San Francisco': 25,
|
||||
'Santa Ana': 5
|
||||
},
|
||||
'Palm Springs': {
|
||||
'San Francisco': 30,
|
||||
'Santa Ana': 50
|
||||
},
|
||||
'San Francisco': {
|
||||
'Los Angeles': 25,
|
||||
'Palm Springs': 30
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[
|
||||
(
|
||||
["Santa Ana", "Los Angeles", "San Francisco"],
|
||||
30
|
||||
),
|
||||
(
|
||||
["Santa Ana", "Palm Springs", "San Francisco"],
|
||||
80
|
||||
)
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
