Refactor Dijkstra pseudo-code and function for readability and type safety

Description:

This pull request refactors the Dijkstra algorithm pseudo-code and function to improve readability and ensure type safety. Key changes include:

  • Updated the pseudo-code to enhance clarity, reflecting recent optimizations and improvements in variable naming.
  • Added type hints to the dijkstra function and its variables, improving overall readability and code quality.
  • Introduced a costs dictionary to track the minimum costs for reaching each node, which helps avoid redundant heap pushes.
  • Adjusted line lengths to comply with PEP 8 style guidelines.

Checklist:

  • I have read CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • This pull request is all my own work -- I have not plagiarized.
  • I know that pull requests will not be merged if they fail the automated tests.
  • This PR only changes one algorithm file. To ease review, please open separate PRs for separate algorithms.
  • All new Python files are placed inside an existing directory.
  • All filenames are in all lowercase characters with no spaces or dashes.
  • All functions and variable names follow Python naming conventions.
  • All function parameters and return values are annotated with Python type hints.
  • All functions have doctests that pass the automated testing.
  • All new algorithms include at least one URL that points to Wikipedia or another similar explanation.
  • If this pull request resolves one or more open issues then the description above includes the issue number(s) with a closing keyword: "Fixes #ISSUE-NUMBER".
