HackerEarth Chocolate Journey problem solution YASH PAL, 31 July 202417 February 2026 In this HackerEarth Chocolate Journey problem solution You live in the city B. Your friend is living in the city A. You need a special chocolate xyz. The chocolate is not available in your city and is available only at k cities. There are N cities in the country and M bi-directional roads between the cities and length of each of these bi-directional roads is given. The chocolate is preserved in cold containers and can stay for infinite time if it is preserved in those containers. If it is once taken out of the cold container, It expires in x units of time and you cannot put it back into the cold container to make it available for the infinite time.
