What is the C program for DFS and BFS?

Answer 1

Breadth First Search is the technique to find the shortest distance between some starting node and the remaining nodes of the graph. This shortest distance is the minimum number of edges traversed in order to travel from the start node to the specific node being examined. It is called BFS because the distances are given breadth wise. It is the faster search technique as the representation of the nodes and the edges are in the form of adjacency list representation. We can also use this technique for searching.

Depth-first search (DFS) is an algorithm for traversing or searching a tree, tree structure, or graph. One starts at the root (selecting some node as the root in the graph case) and explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking.
