Figure: Shortest Path Algorithm - Dijkstra's Algorithm

Dijkstra behaves like water flowing downhill: it always expands first into the cheapest terrain, filling low-cost regions before even touching costly ones. The path you see forms as if water found the easiest valleys through the map, avoiding steep ‘mountain’ costs and hugging the darkest blue zones where movement is cheapest.
