DFS vs BFS

DFS vs. BFS Graph Traversal

Introduction

• Continuing from the previous class (slide 51), the lecture focuses on visually comparing Depth-First Search (DFS) and Breadth-First Search (BFS) graph exploration.
• The same undirected graph is used as the basis for both DFS and BFS.
• Consistency: Nodes are always chosen by the lowest available index first.

Visual Comparison

• The graph under consideration is displayed.
• The visualization aids in understanding the differences in traversal order between DFS and BFS using the same underlying graph.
• Red edges in the visualizations
