Prims Algorithm is used when the given graph is dense , whereas Kruskals is used when the given is sparse,we consider this because of their time complexities even though both of them perform the same function of finding minimum spanning tree. ismailahmed syed
"What are difference between Prim's algorithm and Kruskal's algorithm for finding the minimum spanning tree of a graph?" Prim's method starts with one vertex of a graph as your tree, and adds the smallest edge that grows your tree by one more vertex. Kruskal starts with all of the vertices of a graph as a forest, and adds the smallest edge that joins two trees in the forest. Prim's method is better when * You can only concentrate on one tree at a time * You can concentrate on only a few edges at a time Kruskal's method is better when * You can look at all of the edges at once * You can hold all of the vertices at once * You can hold a forest, not just one tree Basically, Kruskal's method is more time-saving (you can order the edges by weight and burn through them fast), while Prim's method is more space-saving (you only hold one tree, and only look at edges that connect to vertices in your tree).
It prevents loops in a switched network with redundant paths.
