The final shortest distance from home to university is 7. This value is determined after all smaller uncircled candidates (specifically vertices E with label 4 and B with label 6) have been processed.
Conditions: The algorithm has processed all vertices with tentative labels smaller than 7.; The label 7 at university is the smallest remaining uncircled label.; The graph edge weights are fixed as shown in the example.

The initialization step involves assigning a distance of 0 to the starting vertex (home) and marking it as visited by drawing a circle around it. All other vertices are initially considered to have an infinite or undefined distance until they are updated by neighbor calculations.
Conditions: The algorithm is starting.; The source vertex is identified as 'home'.

The numeric labels at the vertices represent the current best known distance from the source vertex (home) to that specific vertex. A blue circle around a label indicates that this distance has been accepted as final for that vertex in the current run of the algorithm.
Conditions: The demonstration uses a visual whiteboard-style representation.; The source vertex is 'home'.; The algorithm is Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm.

The rule is to select the uncircled vertex with the smallest tentative distance label. This vertex is then circled to mark it as settled, and a predecessor arrow is drawn from the vertex that supplied this smallest distance.
Conditions: There are uncircled vertices with assigned distance labels.; The algorithm is in the selection phase after updating neighbors.
