Detailed Description

SinglePairShortestPathBFS class.

It solves the single-pair shortest path problem using a BFS-based implementation.

It is a unweighted algorithm, that is it assumes all edges have the same cost.

Check out the 'Algorithms' section in the SPARKSEE User Manual for more details on this.

Method Documentation

- (void) addAllEdgeTypes: (enum STSEdgesDirection)  dir

Allows for traversing all edge types of the graph.

Parameters
dir[in] Edge direction.
- (void) addEdgeType: (int)  type
dir: (enum STSEdgesDirection)  dir 

Allows for traversing edges of the given type.

Parameters
type[in] Edge type.
dir[in] Edge direction.
- (void) addNodeType: (int)  type

Allows for traversing nodes of the given type.

Parameters
typenull
- (void) checkOnlyExistence

Set that only the path existence must be calculated and not the path itself.

That method should improve the performance of the algorithm, but a call to GetPathAsNodes or GetPathAsEdges will generate an exception even if the path exists.

- (void) close

Closes the ShortestPath instance.

It must be called to ensure the integrity of all data.

- (void) excludeEdges: (STSObjects *)  edges

Set which edges can't be used.

This will replace any previously specified set of excluded edges. Should only be used to exclude the usage of specific edges from allowed edge types because it's less efficient than not allowing an edge type.

Parameters
edges[in] A set of edge identifiers that must be kept intact until the destruction of the class.
- (void) excludeNodes: (STSObjects *)  nodes

Set which nodes can't be used.

This will replace any previously specified set of excluded nodes. Should only be used to exclude the usage of specific nodes from allowed node types because it's less efficient than not allowing a node type.

Parameters
nodes[in] A set of node identifiers that must be kept intact until the destruction of the class.
- (double) getCost

Gets the cost of the shortest path.

The cost is the number of hops of the shortest path.

Returns
The cost of the shortest path.

Implements STSSinglePairShortestPath.

- (STSOidList*) getPathAsEdges

Gets the shortest path between the source node and the destination node as an ordered set of edges.

Returns
Ordered set of edge identifiers.

Implements STSSinglePairShortestPath.

- (STSOidList*) getPathAsNodes

Gets the shortest path between the source node and the destination node as an ordered set of nodes.

Returns
Ordered set of node identifiers.

Implements STSSinglePairShortestPath.

- (id) initWithSession: (STSSession *)  session
src: (long long)  src
dst: (long long)  dst 

Creates a new instance.

Parameters
session[in] Session to get the graph from and perform traversal.
src[in] Source node.
dst[dst] Destination node.
- (void) setMaximumHops: (int)  maxhops

Sets the maximum hops restriction.

All paths longer than the maximum hops restriction will be ignored.

Parameters
maxhops[in] The maximum hops restriction. It must be positive or zero. Zero, the default value, means unlimited.
