Shortest path minimum hops

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresMid–Senior~30 min

An undirected graph on n nodes (0..n-1) has weighted edges [u, v, w] with positive weights. Among all shortest (minimum total weight) paths from s to t, return the minimum number of edges (hops) used by any such shortest path. Return -1 if t is unreachable. Constraints: 1 <= n <= 10^4; 1 <= w <= 10^6.

What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
