    1. Create an array that holds the distance of each vertex from the starting

       the starting vertex which should be set to 0.
    2. Create a priority queue (heap) and insert the starting vertex with its
       distance of 0.
    3. While there are still vertices left in the priority queue, select the vertex
       with the smallest recorded distance from the starting vertex and visit its
       neighboring vertices.
    4. For each neighboring vertex, check if it is visited already or not. If it
       isn’t visited yet, calculate its tentative distance by adding its weight
       to the smallest distance found so far for its parent/previous node
       (starting vertex in case of first-level vertices).

       (if any), update it in our ‘distances’ array.

       queue and repeat step-3 until we have reached our destination or exhausted
