Prim 算法是一种解决最小生成树问题（Minimum Spanning Tree）的算法。和 Kruskal 算法类似，Prim 算法的设计也是基于贪心算法（Greedy algorithm）。
Prim 算法的思想很简单，一棵生成树必须连接所有的顶点，而要保持最小权重则每次选择邻接的边时要选择较小权重的边。Prim 算法看起来非常类似于单源最短路径 Dijkstra 算法，从源点出发，寻找当前的最短路径，每次比较当前可达邻接顶点中最小的一个边加入到生成树中。
例如，下面这张连通的无向图 G，包含 9 个顶点和 14 条边，所以期待的最小生成树应包含 (9 - 1) = 8 条边。
创建 mstSet 包含到所有顶点的距离，初始为 INF，源点 0 的距离为 0，{0, INF, INF, INF, INF, INF, INF, INF, INF}。
选择当前最短距离的顶点，即还是顶点 0，将 0 加入 MST，此时邻接顶点为 1 和 7。
选择当前最小距离的顶点 1，将 1 加入 MST，此时邻接顶点为 2。
选择 2 和 7 中最小距离的顶点为 7，将 7 加入 MST，此时邻接顶点为 6 和 8。
选择 2, 6, 8 中最小距离的顶点为 6，将 6 加入 MST，此时邻接顶点为 5。
重复上面步骤直到遍历完所有顶点为止，会得到如下 MST。
C# 实现 Prim 算法如下。Prim 算法可以达到 O(ElogV) 的运行时间，如果采用斐波那契堆实现，运行时间可以减少到 O(E + VlogV)，如果 V 远小于 E 的话，将是对算法较大的改进。
