Study Notes
Graph Traversal Algorithms
- BFS (Breadth-First Search): a traversal approach that explores nodes in a graph level by level, starting from the root node.
- DFS (Depth-First Search): a traversal approach that explores nodes in a graph by diving as deep as possible along each branch before backtracking.
BFS Characteristics
- Tree Traversal: BFS is used to traverse tree data structures.
- Queue Data Structure: BFS uses a queue data structure to keep track of nodes to visit.
- Level by Level: BFS explores nodes level by level, starting from the root node.
DFS Characteristics
- Stack Data Structure: DFS uses a stack data structure to keep track of nodes to visit.
- Depth Exploration: DFS explores nodes as deep as possible along each branch before backtracking.
- Three Types of DFS: There are three types of DFS: Pre-Order, In-Order, and Post-Order.
Applications
- Shortest Path: BFS is used to find the shortest path between two nodes in an unweighted graph.
- Network Topology: DFS is used to traverse network topologies.
- Graph Search: Both BFS and DFS are used in graph search algorithms.
