Graphs: Traversal Algorithms (BFS/DFS)
Implement and compare Breadth-First Search (BFS) and Depth-First Search (DFS) algorithms for traversing graphs.
Key Questions
- Differentiate between BFS and DFS in terms of their exploration strategy and applications.
- Analyze the time and space complexity of BFS and DFS on different graph structures.
- Construct an algorithm to find the shortest path in an unweighted graph using BFS.
