Warshall's Algorithm is used to find the transitive closure of a graph. The transitive closure of a graph is a matrix that shows whether there is a path from vertex i to vertex j. The algorithm is based on the idea that if there is a path from vertex i to vertex j, and there is a path from vertex j to vertex k, then there is a path from vertex i to vertex k.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int n;
  cin >> n;
  int mat[n][n];

  // taking input
  for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
      cin >> mat[i][j];

      // comment these two following two lines for path matrix
      // (because we need 0 for logical operations -> binary AND, OR)
      if (mat[i][j] == 0)     // if the value is 0,
        mat[i][j] = (int)1e7; // we set it to a higher value
    }
  }

  // warshall's algorithm
  for (int k = 0; k < n; k++) {
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
        mat[i][j] = min(mat[i][j], mat[i][k] + mat[k][j]); // for shortest path
        // mat[i][j] = mat[i][j] || (mat[i][k] && mat[k][j]); // for path matrix
      }
    }
  }

  // printing matrix
  cout << endl;
  for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
      cout << mat[i][j] << " ";
    }
    cout << endl;
  }

  return 0;
}

Here's a simple test case for this code,

Above code can also work to find the path matrix. Follow the comments of the code.
