+/**
+ * Dijkstras_MinHeap.cpp
+ *
+ * This file implements Dijkstra's algorithm using a min-heap (priority queue).
+ * The algorithm finds the shortest paths from the source vertex to all other vertices in a weighted graph.
+ *
+ * Functions:
+ * - void dijkstra(const unordered_map<int, unordered_map<int, int>>& graph, int start_vertex)
+ *      - graph: An adjacency list representation of the graph.
+ *          - key: vertex
+ *          - value: unordered_map of connected vertices and their edge weights
+ *      - start_vertex: The starting vertex for Dijkstra's algorithm.
+ *
+ * Example Usage:
+ * Uncomment the main function to run a sample test case.
+ * The sample graph used in the main function is represented as an adjacency list.
