# shortestpath: Find Shortest Path using Floyd-Warshall Algorithm In maotai: Tools for Matrix Algebra, Optimization and Inference

## Description

This is a fast implementation of Floyd-Warshall algorithm to find the shortest path in a pairwise sense using RcppArmadillo. A logical input is also accepted. The given matrix should contain pairwise distance values d_{i,j} where 0 means there exists no path for node i and j.

## Usage

 1 shortestpath(dist) 

## Arguments

 dist either an (n\times n) matrix or a dist class object.

## Value

an (n\times n) matrix containing pairwise shortest path length.
