+# A Python implementation of
+# Prim's Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) algorithm.
+# The program is for an adjacency matrix
+# representation of the graph. Time
+# Time complexity is O(V^2). If the input
+# graph is represented as an adjacency list
+# rather than a matrix, time complexity
+# can be reduced O(E * logV) with the help of
+# a binary heap. Space complexity: O(V).
