How to play

Read the code and pick its time complexity from four Big-O choices. Think about loops, recursion, and hidden costs. Press 1–4 or click to answer.

Graph with V vertices and E edges. What is the time complexity?

import heapq

def dijkstra(graph, start):
    dist = {start: 0}
    pq = [(0, start)]
    while pq:
        d, u = heapq.heappop(pq)
        if d > dist.get(u, float('inf')):
            continue
        for v, w in graph[u]:
            nd = d + w
            if nd < dist.get(v, float('inf')):
                dist[v] = nd
                heapq.heappush(pq, (nd, v))
    return dist
