Learn Algorithm Design by Building a Shortest Path Algorithm - Step 21

Tell us what’s happening:

I have already tried out all the suggestions provided in the forum for this step and even the latest suggestion, which is more close to the actual solution, but at last I am getting “You should append each node to unvisited inside your for loop.”

Your code so far

my_graph = {
    'A': [('B', 3), ('D', 1)],
    'B': [('A', 3), ('C', 4)],
    'C': [('B', 4), ('D', 7)],
    'D': [('A', 1), ('C', 7)]
}


# User Editable Region

def shortest_path(graph, start):
    unvisited = []
    for my_graph in graph:
        unvisited.append('A','B','C','D')

for my_graph in graph:

Create a for loop to iterate over your graph

You have a graph called my_graph but when you pass it to the function, it will be referred to as graph

def shortest_path(graph, start):

The graph contains nodes. So, you need to create a for loop that iterates over each node in graph

When it comes time to append a node to unvisited you can refer to it as node

Really, Thanks for the help, @pkdvalis One of my teammates suggested the same solution, and I tried it, and it worked, but your explanation is an add-on to it for me. Once again, thank you so much for explaining it.
