Graphs: Representation and Traversal
Introduction to graph data structures, their representations (adjacency matrix/list), and basic traversal algorithms (BFS/DFS).
Key Questions
- Compare adjacency matrix and adjacency list representations for graphs.
- Explain the differences between Breadth-First Search (BFS) and Depth-First Search (DFS).
- Design an algorithm to find if a path exists between two nodes in a graph.
