Krsukal's Algorithm Example in Python

The document describes Kruskal's algorithm for finding the minimum spanning tree of a graph. It provides the steps of the algorithm and then shows an implementation in Python. The key steps are: (1) sorting the edges by weight from lowest to highest, (2) adding the lowest weight edge that does not create a cycle to the spanning tree, and (3) repeating step 2 until all vertices are connected.
