Single source shortest path between two cities

Given a graph of N Nodes and E edges in form of {U, V, W} such that there exists an edge between U and V with weight W. You are given an integer K and source src and destination dst. The task is to find the cheapest cost path from given source to destination from K stops.
Examples:

Input: N = 3, edges = [[0, 1, 100], [1, 2, 100], [0, 2, 500]], src = 0, dst = 2, k = 1
Output: 200
Explanation:
The Cheapest Price is from City 0 to City 2. With just one stop, it just costs 200 which is our Output.
Input: N = 3, edges = [[0, 1, 100], [1, 2, 100], [0, 2, 500]], src = 0, dst = 2, k = 0
Output: 500

Method 1: Using Depth First Search

Explore the current node and keep exploring its children.
Use a map to store the visited node in pair with stops and distance as value.
Break the recursion tree if the key is present in the map.
Find the answer (minimum cost) for each recursion tree and return it.

Below is the implementation of our approach.

Method 2: Using Breadth-First Search

The idea is to use Queue to perform BFS Traversal.
Perform traversal from current node and insert root node in the queue.
Traverse the queue and explore the current node and its siblings. Then insert the siblings of the node in the queue.
While exploring each sibling and keep pushing the entries in the queue if the cost is less and update the minimum cost.
Print the minimum cost after the above traversal.

Output:

Method 3: Using Dijkstra Algorithm

Update the distance of all the vertices from the source.
The vertices that are not directly connected from the source are marked with infinity and vertices that are directly connected are updated with the correct distance.
Start from the source, and extract next min vertices. This will ensure the minimum cost.
Do Edge Relaxation at each step: D denotes Distance and w denotes weights
1. If D[u] + w(u, z) < D[z] then
2. D[z] = D[u] + w(u, z)

Output:

Method 4: Using Bellmon Ford

Initialize distances from the source to all vertices as infinite and distance to the source itself as 0.
Do Edge Relaxation at each step: D denotes Distance and w denotes weights
- If D[u] + w(u, z) < D[z] then D[z] = D[u] + w(u, z)
The algorithm has been modified to solve the given problem instead of relaxing the graph V-1 times, we will do it for the given number of stops.
