Both algorithms have the same efficiency and both are based on the same greedy approach. But Kruskal's algorithm is much easier to implement.
Complexity prim = O(E+ V logV). E edge and V vertex. kurskal = O(E lgV ).
The correctness of either Prim's or Kruskal's algorithm, is not affected by negative edges in the graph. They both work fine with negative edges. The question boils down to "Does a Priority Queue of numbers work with negative numbers?" because of the fact that both Prim's and Kruskal's algorithm use a priority queue. Of course -- as negative numbers are simply numbers smaller than 0. The "<" sign will still work with negative numbers.
First a vertex is selected arbitrarily. on each iteration we expand the tree by simply attaching to it the nearest vertex not in the tree. the algorithm stops after all yhe graph vertices have been included.. one main criteria is the tree should not be cyclic.

The Prim algorithm was developed in 1930 by Vojtech Jarnik, a Czech mathematician. It was later rediscovered by Robert C. Prim in 1957, who was a computer scientist.
The C code for Prim's algorithm can be found in the following link. https://sites.google.com/site/itstudentjunction/lab-programming-solutions/data-structures-programs/program-to-find-minimal-spanning-tree-using--prims-algorithm

Priority queues can be found in operating systems for load-balancing and interrupt handling, network servers for bandwidth management, compression algorithms (such as Huffman encoding), Dijkstra's algorithm, Prim's algorithm and artificial intelligence systems.

Prim and Proper,
Prims Algorithm is used when the given graph is dense , whereas Kruskals is used when the given is sparse,we consider this because of their time complexities even though both of them perform the same function of finding minimum spanning tree. ismailahmed syed
