Questions and Answers

In the depth-first search (DFS) approach, how is the frontier managed?

  • As a stack data structure (correct)
  • As a queue data structure
  • As a linked list
  • As a binary tree

What is the catchphrase associated with managing the frontier in depth-first search?

  • Priority-based removal
  • First-in first-out
  • Random removal
  • Last-in first-out (correct)

Which direction does a depth-first search algorithm exhaust first before trying another direction?

  • The left direction (correct)
  • One direction randomly
  • The right direction
  • Every direction simultaneously
