    Study Notes

    Graph Traversal Purpose

    • The primary purpose of graph traversal is to search or traverse a graph data structure in a specific order, allowing for efficient exploration and analysis of the graph's structure and properties.

    Graph Traversal Techniques

    • Depth-First Search (DFS) is a technique that produces a spanning tree as the final result, which is a subset of the original graph that includes all the vertices connected by a single path.

    BFS Implementation

    • A queue data structure is used to implement Breadth-First Search (BFS) traversal, which allows for efficient exploration of the graph level by level.

    BFS Algorithm

    • The first step in the BFS traversal algorithm is to select a starting vertex (also known as the source vertex) and mark it as visited.

    Looping Paths

    • A graph traversal aims to avoid or detect looping paths, which are cycles in the graph that can cause infinite loops or unnecessary computations.
