Floyd's Algorithm: Loop Structure Suppose that the nesting order of the main loops in Floyd's Algorithm is: for i = 1 to n / for j = 1 t o n / for k = 1 to n. Match the index variable to its purpose.

i = Intermediate vertex j = source vertex k = destination vertex For the algorithm to work properly, the intermediate vertex index must be in the outer loop. In class we called it k, but those are just arbitrary labels.
