can anyone help in solving the following question.
consider a weighted undirected graph. There is a source S and destination D and a value K. Find the length of the shortest path such that you can make at most K edges 0.

We can create a graph with $$$k$$$ layers — lets call it $$$G[n][k]$$$. For each edge $$$(v,u,w)$$$ we add two types of edges to our graph:
$$$G[v][i]$$$ — $$$G[u][i]$$$ with weight $$$w$$$ (standard edge, needs to be in each layer)
$$$G[v][i]$$$ — $$$G[u][i+1]$$$ with weight $$$0$$$ ("skipping" edge, also in each layer)
Now if we calculate minimum distances to each vertex in the whole graph, distance to $$$G[v][l]$$$ will mean minimum distance to vertex $$$v$$$ if we made exactly $$$l$$$ edges to be equal 0.
If the weights are positive we can use Dijkstra's algorithm to calculate minimum distances giving us $$$O(nk*log(nk))$$$ complexity.
If weights can be negative we use Bellman–Ford algorithm giving us $$$O(n^2k^2)$$$ comlpexity.
Note that we need to take minimum distance to $$$d$$$ in all layers in order to find the answer (we "skip" at most $$$k$$$ edges)
Why we need to take minimum in all layers , should n't the minimum should be when you have skipped k edges . i.e G[dest][k] ??
Because you can skip at most $$$k$$$ edges. It's unnecessary for positive weights, but for negative weights can result in wrong answers.
What does 'i' represent here? Can you provide a picture of any example?
can someone give link to problem of this type on codeforces
Here is one from codeforces.
CODE with explanation void findMinDistance(vector<pair<int, int>> adj[], int N, int k) { // {dist, {node, leftout}} priority_queue<pair<int, pair<int, int>>> pq; pq.push({0, {1, 0}});
}
