A university is constructing a new campus and the developers want to connect all the facilities in the campus with a biking-walking path that will minimize the amount of concrete pathway that will have to be built. The following network shows the possible connecting paths between the facilities: For this network, the distance (in 100 ft increments) between nodes is given in the diagram, and in the table below. Branch Distance1-2 (A) 21-4 (B) 233-6 (C) 6The length of the pathways that will connect all the facilities with the minimum amount of pathway construction is: (Remember the units are 100ft. So, for instance, the distance between node 1 and 3 is 600 ft.)

A university is constructing a new campus and the developers want to connect all the facilities in the campus with a biking-walking path that will minimize the amount of concrete pathway that will have to be built.

Solution
I'm sorry, but the network diagram and the complete table of distances between nodes are not provided in your question. To solve this problem, which is essentially a minimum spanning tree problem, I would need the complete information about all possible paths and their distances.
In general, to solve this problem, you would use an algorithm like Kruskal's or Prim's to find the minimum spanning tree of the graph representing the campus facilities and paths. This would give you the set of paths that connects all facilities with the minimum total distance.
Please provide the complete information so I can help you solve this problem.

Have the function ShortestPath(strArr) take strArr which will be an array of strings which models a non-looping Graph. The structure of the array will be as follows: The first element in the array will be the number of nodes N (points) in the array as a string. The next N elements will be the nodes which can be anything (A, B, C .. Brick Street, Main Street .. etc.). Then after the Nth element, the rest of the elements in the array will be the connections between all of the nodes. They will look like this: (A-B, B-C .. Brick Street-Main Street .. etc.). Although, there may exist no connections at all.An example of strArr may be: ["4","A","B","C","D","A-B","B-D","B-C","C-D"]. Your program should return the shortest path from the first Node to the last Node in the array separated by dashes. So in the example above the output should be A-B-D. Here is another example with strArr being ["7","A","B","C","D","E","F","G","A-B","A-E","B-C","C-D","D-F","E-D","F-G"]. The output for this array should be A-E-D-F-G. There will only ever be one shortest path for the array. If no path between the first and last node exists, return -1. The array will at minimum have two nodes. Also, the connection A-B for example, means that A can get to B and B can get to A.
