how to clear this error?
and
how to change different input plz answer me

Same error for me too.

thank you, working perfect

This code is very good. I used this code to find best path between metro stations in a project.

Thank you for the code ... a small remark is that you have to store the node during the search algorithm and not to use it to store the cities from the map ... a simpler way to do that by using a list of string contains the name of cities.

I think maybe you should add

if (explored.contains(child)) {
    explored.remove(child)
}
