Introduction:

In a world where efficiency is paramount, route finding algorithms play a crucial role in various applications, from GPS navigation systems to logistics planning. Among these algorithms, Dijkstra's algorithm stands out for its simplicity and effectiveness in finding the shortest path between nodes in a graph. In this tutorial, we'll embark on a journey to implement a route finding console application using C# and Dijkstra's algorithm.

Prerequisites:

 Before diving into the implementation, it's essential to have a basic understanding of C# programming language, object-oriented programming concepts, and familiarity with graph theory and Dijkstra's algorithm.

Setting Up the Project: Let's start by creating a new C# console application project in your preferred Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code. Once the project is set up, we can proceed with the implementation.

Implementing Dijkstra's Algorithm:

1. Define the Graph Structure: We'll represent our graph using adjacency lists, where each node is associated with a list of adjacent nodes and their corresponding weights.
